What
is KH&LA?
Founded in 1930, the Kentucky Hotel and Lodging Association is a voluntary
non profit organization made up of business people and allied and associate
professionals. Our members recognize they have a stake in the hospitality
business and have joined together to advance the industry and to enhance
it. Together we coordinate ideas, energy and financial resources to
accomplish collectively the success none of us could achieve individually.
A Board of Directors representing the members sets policies and goals.
The Board keeps in constant touch with the membership to be sure we
are in touch with our industry.
