I’m pleased to introduce the new website for the IHG Owners Association, reflecting the name change we announced at the IHG Investors & Leadership Conference in Las Vegas.

The Association works globally in partnership with IHG to improve revenue for our hotels, further strengthen the value of IHG’s brands and most importantly, enhance the experience for our guests. In 2011-2012, we will accomplish this by focusing on three guiding principles:  

•   Increasing return on investment for all owners. We’ll do this by continuing to monitor standards development and looking for bottom-line cost savings to improve cash flow.

•   Deepening engagement for all owners with the Association and with IHG brands, as well as within our local communities and at our hotels.

•   Leading change that solidifies the Association’s strategic and succession planning and secures our future growth and collaboration with IHG.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the Association—what we do and how we work to benefit our members in every corner of the world. 

Sincerely,

Glenn Squires

Chairman

IHG Owners Association
