Lisa Hamilton named President at Caribbean Society of Hotel Association Executives (CSHAE) in Coral Gables
At its recent Annual General Meeting (AGM), held prior to Caribbean Travel Marketplace, members of the Caribbean Society of Hotel Association Executives (CSHAE) elected its leadership and Board of Directors to guide the region's association executives during the 2012-13 term. CSHAE executives also hammered out a strategic plan for the region's hotel associations and agreed to renew financial support for the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association Education Foundation's (CHTAEF) Haiti Relief Fund which provides training programs to help rebuild the nation's tourism talent base, much of which was lost as a result of the devastating earthquake two years ago. Lisa Hamilton, president, United States Virgin Islands Hotel and Tourism Association, was elected president of CSHAE succeeding Frank Comito, executive vice president, Bahamas Hotel Association, who held the position since 2009. Gilda Gumbs-Samuel, executive director, Anguilla Hotel & Tourism Association, was elected vice president while Neil Forrester, general manager, Antigua Hotels & Tourism Association was re-elected as treasurer and Noorani Azeez, St. Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association, was elected secretary.
