Bob Alter Makes $5,000 Contribution To AH&LEF Annual Giving Campaign

Alter is also an active member of the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA), serving as chair of its Governmental Affairs and HotelPAC committees, and leading industry lobbying efforts during AH&LA’s annual Legislative Action Summit.  This marks Alter’s third year at the $5,000 level.

The Annual Giving Campaign is the Foundation’s key yearly fundraiser that supports its core missions, including providing scholarships to hospitality management students, funding important research in areas such as room tax, energy management, and ADA requirements, as well as promoting hospitality as a career of choice and workforce development initiatives. 

AH&LEF is the not-for-profit affiliate of AH&LA and is funded solely by charitable donations from progressive hospitality leaders and companies within the industry. In 2009, AH&LEF disbursed $1.2 million to prepare promising college students for a career in hospitality, to attract and retain talented industry professionals, and to fund valuable research for lodging properties.  Since the Foundation’s inception, approximately $14 million has been distributed through its scholarship, education, outreach, and research programs. 

All contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.  For more information about donating, contact Michelle Poinelli, senior vice president of foundation programs at (202) 289-3181 or [email protected], or visit www.ahlef.org.
