NCRLA Brings Industry Voice to Raleigh During Day of Action
On Tuesday, June 3, NCRLA hosted a full day of industry engagement and advocacy in downtown Raleigh, culminating in our annual Rally in Raleigh legislative reception.
The day began with NCRLA’s Board of Directors meeting, where industry leaders from across the state gathered to discuss key priorities, share updates, and align on strategies to strengthen North Carolina’s hospitality sector. Board members received timely updates on legislative activity, workforce initiatives, and industry insights—setting the tone for a productive day of connection.
That evening, hospitality professionals joined state lawmakers at the historic Merrimon-Wynne House for Rally in Raleigh. The reception provided a valuable opportunity for direct, face-to-face conversations with elected officials about the policies and challenges shaping the hospitality industry. In a relaxed setting, attendees shared their stories, built relationships, and advocated for a stronger, more resilient business climate.
We’re grateful to everyone who participated in this important day of advocacy and connection. NCRLA remains committed to championing policies that support and grow North Carolina’s hospitality industry.
