AHA Legislative Day & Crawfish Boil
A day of connection, advocacy, and Arkansas hospitality—bringing industry leaders together at the State Capitol and around the table.
Why it matters
From the Capitol to the crawfish table
Legislative Day gives hospitality professionals a welcoming way to understand the policy process, connect with public leaders, and strengthen the relationships that help our industry speak with a clear voice.
Industry voice

The event brings together operators, association partners, elected officials, and community leaders in a setting built for useful conversation and lasting connection.

Workers’ compensation built around hospitality
For an operator, workers’ compensation affects team care, compliance, and the bottom line. The Arkansas Hospitality Industry Insurance Program offers industry-specific workers’ compensation coverage, with additional property and liability options tailored to hospitality businesses.
John Harbour is AHA’s official AHIIP representative and can help operators understand the program and their next steps.
