ORTA MEMBER AWARDS
It is well known that the Ohio Rail Tourism industry is largely operated and managed by a dedicated group of highly committed individuals, many of whom are volunteers. The Ohio Rail Tourism Association (ORTA) takes much pride each year in recognizing the leading volunteers and individuals that continue to build our organizations and develop our industry.
It is through their hard work and leadership that our industry continues to grow and our individual organizations continue to prosper.
