Expanding Our Team: Angelica Morris Joins WHLA as Association Coordinator

We’re excited to welcome Angelica Morris to the Wisconsin Hotel & Lodging Association(WHLA) as our new Association Coordinator!

This new full-time role was created to support WHLA’s growing operations and expand our capacity to serve members.

The Association Coordinator position encompasses a range of responsibilities, including administrative support, marketing and communications, event logistics, and member services. ​Angelica will work closely with our team to help us deliver even more value to our members across Wisconsin’s lodging industry.

Originally from Chicago, IL, Angelica spent the last 11 years on the East Coast, obtaining her undergraduate degree in 2017 and going on to work in Media & Entertainment. 
​
Angelica received her B.S. in Business Administration with a double concentration in Marketing and Management and a minor in PR and Journalism from Seton Hall University in New Jersey.

After graduating, she spent her early career working in Manhattan for media companies like A+E Networks and Sony Pictures Entertainment. Angelica and her husband found a unique opportunity to move to Wisconsin for a year in 2023. After returning “home” to New York in 2024, they quickly realized that Wisconsin was where they were meant to be. Angelica said goodbye to the global industry in 2023 and has joined the WHLA as the new Association Coordinator!
