We had a fabulous time at our inaugural Class & A Glass – A Beginners Guide to Self-Defense last night. The evening was filled with learning, networking and great company. Thank you to Tyrone Hemingway & Aaron Patton of Bushido Marital Art Karate for leading an innovative and humor-filled self-defense class. And, to our sponsors, who are always part of evenings like this being a success: Royal Sonesta River North, Boston Beer Company, Pepsi, Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits and Windy City Laundry.

Michael Jacobson represented IHLA in Japan this week on a Gubernatorial Trade Mission led by Governor JB Pritzker. Hotels, tourism and hospitality play a critical role in the state’s overall economic development and we are proud to be part of #TeamIllinois. Intersect Illinois Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity
As I prepare to depart Tokyo, I am so grateful for the hospitality and the ability to learn from our Japanese colleagues while on Governor JB Pritzker’s trade mission to Japan this week. There were many fruitful conversations that have already, and will continue to pay dividends to help grow the Illinois economy. We have a great group of business and political leaders (including Senate President Don Harmon, Speaker of the House Emanuel “Chris” Welch, Senator Bill Cunningham, and Rep. Robyn Gabel) who are all dedicated to improving our state, and that was seen in full force this week. We ended our trip by enjoying a fabulous reception at Ambassador (I’ll always call him Mayor) Rahm Emanuel’s residence. A few of us even took the little free time we had to go out and explore some markets and a Buddhist temple (thanks, as always for the photos Mark Denzler!)
