Governmental Affairs Committee
The purpose of the Governmental Affairs Committee is to monitor and offer public policy positions and recommendations, on behalf of the Central Florida tourism and hospitality industry, to the CFHLA Board of Directors. Additionally, this committee provides an opportunity for hospitality executives and community leaders to meet with our state and locally elected officials to discuss industry issues and priorities.
These quarterly meetings rotate to a different Central Florida lodging and allied member property throughout the year. Please note that participation on this committee is by invitation only.
