SUMMARY:State of the Lodging Industry: Navigating Change in 2026
DESCRIPTION:The lodging industry is undergoing a profound shift\, with rising costs\, evolving guest expectations\, and misaligned financial perspectives creating new challenges for operators and owners alike. \nIn this timely webinar\, Washington Hospitality Association President & CEO Anthony Anton breaks down the realities behind today’s lodging landscape—where strong surface-level metrics often mask deeper financial strain. This session will explore differing perspectives of those in the lodging industry\, why traditional performance metrics no longer tell the full story\, and how external factors—from global travel trends to major events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup—are shaping the future of demand. \nAttendees will also gain insight into how AI is already transforming hotel operations\, from guest communications to revenue management\, and what that means for workforce roles and service delivery. With a focus on actionable strategies\, this webinar will help lodging operators rethink how they measure success\, adapt to digital-first guest preferences\, and position their properties for long-term sustainability—all while reinforcing the vital role hotels play in their local communities. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nAlign Financial Reality Across Teams: Bridge the gap between GM metrics and owner-level financial health to make better strategic decisions.\nAdopt AI to Enhance Operations: From guest services to pricing\, AI tools are ready to improve efficiency\, personalization\, and profitability.\nRedesign for the Modern Guest: Embrace digital-first expectations and evolving preferences to deliver hospitality in the ways today’s travelers value most.

SUMMARY:Navigating High‑Risk Leave Policies with Rocke Law
DESCRIPTION:FMLA\, safe leave\, PTO\, and disability‑related accommodations intersect\, and where employers face the greatest legal risk\, including the use of a newly required notice form. Using real‑world absence scenarios\, the session emphasizes timely employer notices\, documentation requirements\, job‑protection rules\, benefit coordination\, and health‑insurance obligations. \nAttendees learn how missed notices or tracking failures can result in extended or unlimited protected leave\, and how well‑designed written policies\, templates\, and internal procedures help reduce exposure while maintaining lawful\, ethical leave practices. Key Learning Objectives: \nBy the end of this session\, attendees will be able to: \n\nDistinguish between FMLA\, PFML\, and Paid Sick Leave eligibility and coverage rules\, including employer size thresholds\, employee eligibility criteria\, and job‑protection requirements.\nDetermine when FMLA and PFML run concurrently and understand the employer’s obligation to designate\, track\, and provide written notice even if an employee does not apply for PFML benefits.\nMeet new critical employer notice and response deadlines\, including five‑day notice requirements\, ongoing monthly notices\, and documentation standards that cap protected leave periods.\nManage high‑risk absences lawfully\, including intermittent leave\, extended medical leave\, and no‑call/no‑show situations\, while avoiding retaliation or interference claims.\nReduce legal and financial exposure by implementing compliant written policies\, posting and handbook requirements\, leave‑tracking practices\, and health‑benefit continuation procedures during protected leave.
