Rosanna Maietta has been appointed by the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) as its next president and CEO, effective November 14.
Maietta most recently served as the chief communications officer and senior counselor to the CEO at the American Clean Power Association. Previously, she served as president and CEO of the AHLA Foundation and executive vice president of communications and public relations of AHLA.
Interim president and CEO Kevin Carey will continue serving at AHLA in his role as chief operating officer and senior executive vice president.
“This organization and industry hold a special place in my heart, and I am eager for the opportunity to lead it into a new chapter of growth and engagement,” Maietta says. “Working alongside the officers and board, I am confident that together we will build on our past successes and accelerate this thriving industry on behalf of our members.”
Maietta was selected after a search that was reportedly conducted over the last several months under the oversight of the AHLA Search Committee, comprised of the leading CEOs and executives of the major brands, owners, and management companies representing a cross-section of AHLA’s members. Maietta’s appointment was unanimously approved by AHLA’s Executive Committee and Board of Directors.
