Policy & Advocacy OHLA emphasizes favorable public policy and industry representation, creating a channel for sales opportunities around compliance, safety, security tools, and regulatory updates that help members manage risk and align with state or local policy changes.

Tech Stack Fit Current tech usage (iCIMS, Google Analytics, Nginx, MDBootstrap, etc.) suggests openness to digital platforms and data-driven services. Propose solutions that integrate with or complement existing tools to optimize member value, recruitment, marketing, or website performance.
