InnSpace has been a Platinum Allied Member of the MLHA for many years. My personal journey started by attending the annual conferences as well as the sales & marketing retreats. Becoming a member of the board has expanded my knowledge. I have enjoyed learning about the hospitality industry in general as well as the local, state and national issues that face this industry. MLHA is instrumental in protecting the hospitality industry. The support for each other is invaluable. It is also opened doors to meeting so many wonderful people. I have enjoyed building relationships that not only benefit our business but me personally.

Testimonials

MLHA has been a great friend in the lodging industry. They have assisted in helping us to locate vendors who have a specialty in the products that we need. They have given us a voice in all legislative issues that as a small lodging property we would not have had. They have also given us educational opportunities to further our knowledge in our ever growing industry.

I joined MLHA in 2016 and in that year I attended my first MLHA convention where I was immediately welcomed by the board members and attendees.  While attending the sales and marketing retreats, I have met some of my best friends within the hospitality industry.  These relationships have been instrumental in helping with questions about the industry, the Montana markets and over all tourism in Montana.  MLHA has given me the opportunity to lead the sales and marketing council with the president role and this has been one of the best experiences to be able to sit on the MLHA board and see what an impact the hospitality industry has on Montana.  MLHA has been a phenomenal organization to be a member of and I highly recommend Montana based  hotels to have their hotel managers join MLHA to take advantage of the specific hotel based trainings and networking with like individuals for opportunities to grow their leaders.
