Legends

This recognition program is aimed at paying a tribute to the history of CFHLA and honoring those former and retired "Legends" who made a substantial impact on the transformation of the organization and the Central Florida Hospitality Industry.

This recognition occurs every three years and the next Legends Induction will occur in 2024.
