The award was proposed by the WHLA Awards Committee and approved by the WHLA Executive Committee, and will be presented during the Awards Dinner and Live Auction on November 7 at the Holiday Inn Stevens Point. In addition to special recognition at the awards ceremony, the winner will receive a plaque and photo opportunities at the Wisconsin Lodging Conference & Trade Show.
