A longtime HSMAI member, Hirneisen brings over ten years of hotel experience to her position. Hirneisen’s responsibilities for HSMAI’s LA Chapter include supporting the Association and its policies internally and externally as well as exercising the governing authority of the Board of Directors when advised to do so by the Board. Hirneisen is also responsible to act as the main liaison between the Board and the Managing Director and to enforce adherence to the Association's Constitution and By-laws and assure the integrity of the Board process. Bringing a background in hotel sales and revenue management, Hirneisen most recently administered the promotional and marketing efforts for the Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles Westside. As the Director of Sales and Marketing, Hirneisen was responsible for sales of $8 million annually. Among her accomplishments, the 260-guestroom hotel opened in April 2008 after a $36M top-to-bottom renovation. With more than 10,000 square feet of meeting space, and a full-service restaurant, the Courtyard is a far cry from typical Courtyard by Marriott hotels. In 2006, the Courtyard by Marriott Silver Spring Downtown was awarded Marriott’s Opening Hotel of the Year award under her leadership as Director of Sales & Marketing. Hirneisen will start in mid May as the Director of Sales & Marketing for the recently renovated 405-room Holiday Inn LAX. Prior to her position with Marriott, Hirneisen worked with some of the premier hotel groups across the country including Millennium Hotels & Resorts, Huntington Hotel Group, and Interstate Hotels & Resorts.
