Annual Meeting of Members with Legislator Happy Hour

Your Voice. Your Industry. Your Impact.

Make your voice heard where it matters most—the Ohio Statehouse. SquareRunner Statehouse Lobby Day is your chance to advocate for the restaurant and hospitality industry, connect directly with legislators, and influence the policies that shape our future.

What’s Happening

1) SquareRunner Statehouse Lobby Day
Spend the day in and around the Statehouse and Capitol Square meeting with legislators, discussing the issues that matter most to hospitality, and learning how to make your advocacy impactful. You’ll also be introduced to SquareRunner—ORHA’s member advocacy program (modeled after the National Restaurant Association’s HillRunner initiative)—with step-by-step guidance to ensure your commitment is minimal but meaningful.

2) Annual Meeting of Members
Celebrate our progress, hear key updates, recognize retiring directors, and help elect leaders who will guide the Alliance forward. Your voice helps set the priorities for the year ahead.

Cap off the day with an exclusive networking reception. Build relationships with legislators and peers over craft beers and cocktails—and turn connections into results.
