About Debra Edwards

Starting my career in the hospitality industry in 1996 after years in the entertainment industry as a professional vocalist was a seamless transition. I relocated from Los Angeles to Atlanta following the Olympics joining the sales team at the Westin Peachtree Plaza. Both industries were based in entertaining, so making that career change was a natural. I feel fortunate to have that true passion for sales, so success came quickly.I have enjoyed various positions with The Westin, Wyndham Atlanta, Monumental Meetings, Krisam Group, Wynn & Encore, Palace Resorts, The Baha Mar Project, and Marival Resorts –TraficTours DMC in Puerto Vallarta. Throughout my career of almost 20 years I found great success in the MICE market while developing personal relationships that have proven to be invaluable. My path has led me to an exciting position as President 2017 for the SITE Southeast Chapter; an honor I really enjoyed.Looking back now, I am thrilled to have chosen such a diverse and ever changing career in the Hospitality Industry. I have traveled the World and have experienced many cultures. I have met numerous people from all walks of life and feel I have been blessed. Looking forward, I cannot wait to see where this next quest takes me. “This road called life is a true journey. Look back with pride and smile at the trials and challenges that made you who you are today. Look forward to the mysteries to come and cherish each new experience with joy and anticipation. Life is what YOU make of it. Make it an Adventure!”………….
