Dear GMBHA Members and Partners,
Our 24th Annual Inn Key Awards Luncheon on April 30th was an incredible tribute to our hardworking hotel employees. Alex Tonarelli, Chairman of the Board, and our GMBHA Board of Directors would like to congratulate the 320 hotel employee nominees and the 26 winners. We would also like to congratulate the 60 hotel nominees and the 10 winners for the Hotel Achievement Awards. With over 800 in attendance to include over 70 hotels represented, the room was electric and tearful as we all celebrated the "heart of our hotels"... OUR EMPLOYEES.
Special thank you to our host, Florencia Rotemberg, General Manager, Jonathan Galindo, Director of Social Event Sales and the entire JW Marriott Marquis staff! Many thanks to our Event Sponsor, Al-Flex Exterminators and our corporate sponsors, GMCVB, American Airlines, Boucher Brothers and Comcast Business.
