TESTIMONIALS

When it comes to leading and transforming an organization, Amita Patel is among the very best. More than 15 years ago I began working with Amita and there are strategies for success she taught me that I still use today. Organizational skills, time management, follow-through, aggressive solicitation, statistical data collection, innovative report creation and standing out in a crowd are just a few of her many talents; and this sales and marketing professional knows how to do it all with style, class and unparalleled precision. I worked with Amita on and off for many years and I count those years as some of the best in my career. Not only is she a tireless, dedicated employee but she is a loyal, trustworthy individual who inspires with integrity and fun, out-of-the-box thinking. Amita is truly like none other and I hope to have the great fortune of working alongside her in the future.” Charlie Reeves, Senior Sales Manager, Hilton Anaheim, CA

Amita is one of few industry professionals I know with both destination marketing and convention facility management experience. I have reached out to her on numerous occasions for insight into how best to integrate the marketing and management aspects of our industry. She is always seeking knowledge and is willing to share what she has learned with others. Amita brings precision, innovation and thoroughness to all of her assignments and she is an invaluable asset.” January 30, 2012, Melvin Tennant, II MA, CAE, President/CEO, Meet Minneapolis

“

Amita is one of the best people within our industry today. Hard working Focused and Creative are just a few words that come to mind. In an industry of constant change, Amita leads and does not follow. I would consider it an honor to work with her again the future. Lenard Dobrowolski, Area Director, Western Region, BT Sales, Hilton Worldwide

CLOSING REMARKS

The slides presented represent a small percentage of the experience I bring to an organization. I have created reporting standards not only at the hotel level to be used company wide, but also at the Bureau level.
