I have been in the Hospitality Industry since 1972. Spending 13 years in both operations and sales with various hotels and the past 34 years as Managing Partner/ Meeting Professional - the owner of CMP Meeting Services. In 1986, I opened Communications, Marketing, and Productions as one of the first full-service meeting management companies which derived their income solely from the collection of commissions from the hotels and resorts that they booked. From the outset, CMP Meeting Services became a leader in the industry working and consulting with some of the leaders in our industry. Today, David sits or has sat on the advisory boards of some of the most forward-thinking cities and hotel representation firms in the US. On November 9, 2016, CMP Meeting Services transformed itself to CMP Meeting Services L.P.
