2017 was a super successful year for NHLA and our members. We would like to thank all of our volunteer members, committee chairpersons, committee members, board of directors, members and friends.
NHLA is managed by two leaders: Diane Gandy, President and Irving Pamblanco, Vice President of Operations. Diane has over 35 years in the hospitality industry and Irving has been a leader with NHLA for 29 years.
We host or participate in over 75 events and activities each year. With a staff of just two people, we depend and appreciate our members. It is through volunteers and active members that we are able to maintain momentum and ensure our members receive value and benefit from membership.
Special thanks to our four 2017 quarterly volunteers: Heather Kinnear, Atlantis Resort; Anthony Lai, TISOH; Jaime Miranda, Venetian/Palazzo and Michele Kline, The Service Companies. These four individuals serve on committees and councils and provide great assistance and leadership for the association.
