I proudly served as Executive Vice President of CHRIE from 1986 to 1996. Looking back, 25 years later, my first thoughts are the wonderful memories I have of the tremendous people with whom I worked including CHRIE leaders, members, industry professionals, allied association executives and the CHRIE staff. We shared great experiences at Annual CHRIE Conferences and other events including Alligator Hours at the Copacabana during the New York Hotel Show; annual pilgrimages to the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago including the Salute to Excellence, receptions at the Standard Oil Building (now Aon Center); the inauguration of EuroCHRIE in Switzerland in the early 90s; and regional CHRIE Conferences in the United States, Canada, and so on.

我很荣幸地从1986年至1996年担任CHRIE的执行副总裁。回顾25年后，我的初衷是对与我一起工作的众多人的美好回忆，其中包括CHRIE领导人，成员，行业专家，联盟协会执行人员和CHRIE工作人员 我们在年度CHRIE大会和其他活动中分享了宝贵的经验，包括在纽约酒店展期间在科帕卡巴纳的鳄鱼小时活动；每年在芝加哥国家饭店协会展上朝圣，包括向卓越致敬，在标准石油大厦（现为怡安中心）举行的招待会；EuroCHRIE于90年代初在瑞士成立。以及在美国，加拿大等地举行的区域性CHRIE会议。
