The session will describe a method of determining the value of preventative maintenance (PM) programs for hotel properties.  Property owners and operations/engineering managers will be provided information that implementing a PM program is far less than not having one in place. 

Sokol stated, ``I am excited to be taking part in this educational event.  As we have worked in the lodging industry for several years, we find that the most difficult area to cost justify is preventative maintenance.   Subsequently, the presentation is meant to provide the tools necessary to develop a justifiable business case.�
