Advocacy Events
OACVB hosts regular events that give members the opportunity to meet with elected officials. State Lobbying Day is scheduled on an annual basis, often in partnership with industry partners, including the Ohio Hotel & Lodging Association, the Ohio Restaurant Association and the Ohio Travel Association. These events create a unified front where members have the opportunity to meet their legislators to discuss important industry issues and network with industry peers. As needed, OACVB also coordinates with national organizations on Federal Lobbying Days and fly ins.
