OHLA's Stars of the Industry Awards provides recognition to your employees - an important part of validating, thanking, encouraging and retaining your best performers and boosting morale within your staff. Completing this nomination will automatically recognize your candidates as nominees, making them eligible for local, statewide and even national recognition. Recognition helps improve team culture, increase performance and even reduce turnover.

OHLA awards include a luncheon event recognizing all nominees and local winners in Greater Cincinnati, Greater Cleveland, Greater Columbus and Greater Dayton Lodging Councils, and the winners of those councils and the rest of the state at the statewide awards at the OHLA Annual Conference in November. Statewide winners are eligible for national recognition.

All team members of an OHLA member property are eligible for a Stars of the Industry Award Nomination. With the exception of previous award recipients in their respective category. An award winner may not win in successive years for the same category. For example, if John Doe won General Manager of the Year in 2022, they will not be able to win the 2023 General Manager of the Year. John Doe CAN be nominated for a different category in 2023. 

Regional (Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, & Dayton) & Ohio Stars of the Industry Awards nominations are open. Regional nominees will be celebrated in August/September 2023 and the Ohio Stars of the Industry will be celebrated in November 2023.
