Industry Leaders Join OHLA Board for 2026

Industry Leaders Join OHLA Board for 2026

Part of the excitement of OHLA’s Annual Conference & Gala is the opportunity to elect members to its statewide Board of Trustees. Current board members are also recognized at this event for their leadership and service. Associations rely on the volunteer involvement of these dedicated and selfless individuals who commit their time and energy on behalf of all members and the entire industry. Roughly half of the OHLA board is elected in alternating years.

New members joining the board for the term beginning January 1, 2026, are:

Michael Cooney, Radius Hospitality

Wade Riedman, Rolling Hills Hospitality

Amy Wald, Greenluxe (as Allied Officer)

Brian Wipprecht, Commonwealth Hotels

Members reelected for a new term are:

Chad Bortle, SJB Hotels

Holly Hollingsworth, Cogwheel Marketing

Nancy Howard, Hilton Columbus/Polaris

Jennifer Ruiz, Embassy Suites Akron Canton Airport

Stephen Stewart, Hyatt Regency Columbus

Thank you to all of our volunteers and leaders!
