Effective July 4, 2016, the 6th anniversary of its founding, Kathleen Hogan, MBA CHO will assume the role and title of CEO of HospitalityEducators.com. This will include brand strategy and positioning, as HospitalityEducators.com continues to expand opportunities to deliver hospitality learning, professional certifications and problem solving options and vehicles for hotel owners and managers.
“HospitalityEducators.com has evolved from our original services as a membership site to one that provides a broad range of educational services and specific solutions for hotels,” says Hogan. “Almost 80% of the hotels in the US are under 150 rooms. While many of them are branded, an affiliation alone may not be enough for a small business owner to achieve the level of success they are seeking. In the past six years, we have been repeatedly asked to offer recommendations on ways to improve profitability, to increase market share, to improve guest service or to offer personalized training assistance. The site offers valuable information, but the demand for personalized services has determined our need to expand and vary our delivery of knowledge and expertise.”
