Choice Hotels Named One of the "Best Places to Work for People with Disabilities"

ROCKVILLE, Md., July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world's largest hotel companies, earned the recognition of "Best Places to Work for People with Disabilities" by receiving a top score in the 2018 Disability Equality Index. The accolade was determined by the United States Business Leadership Network (USBLN) and American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD).
