ATLANTA -- Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) President and CEO Chip Rogers and Treasurer Hitesh "HP" Patel will address audiences this week at the Red Lion Hotels Corporation Conference in Spokane, Wash., on August 2-5.

The four-day conference is expected to draw hoteliers and industry leaders from around the country for industry and Red Lion news. Rogers and Patel will deliver a hospitality industry-focused legislative update and a general AAHOA update.

Red Lion is "dedicated to introducing travelers to fresh local experiences" - a goal that helps set it apart among other big-name brands within hospitality.
