Your property’s OHLA membership provides access to one of our most valuable benefits for your organization and your team members—the Stars of the Industry Awards program.
OHLA’s Star Awards give you an easy, free way to provide prestigious recognition to your employees. Awards and recognition opportunities are an important part of validating, thanking, encouraging, and retaining your best performers and boosting morale within your staff. Experts agree that adding industry recognition to your employee programs can help improve team culture, increase performance, and even reduce turnover.
Taking a few minutes to complete the streamlined nomination form online will automatically recognize your candidates as nominees, making them eligible for local, statewide, and even national recognition. OHLA awards include a luncheon event recognizing all nominees and local winners in the late summer, followed by the statewide awards at the OHLA Annual Conference in November. Statewide winners are eligible for national recognition. Will you help us recognize our industry’s best by nominating candidates from your property?
Regional Nominations are due at midnight on June 23!
