Todd D. Scholl Named as Director of Sales for the
Elms Hotel & Spa in Excelsior Springs, Missouri

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, MISSOURI. FEBRUARY 1, 2012 - Todd D. Scholl was recently appointed Director of Sales for the Elms Hotel & Spa.  The Elms is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation and is scheduled to reopen April 2012.  A native Iowan, Scholl is excited to be closer to home after spending time recently in Tulsa, OK at the Hyatt Regency. 
 
Prior to the Hyatt he spent almost seven years with The Peabody Little Rock, an AAA Four-Diamond property, where he helped them achieve the Forbes Four Star designation in 2009. He is a consummate hospitality sales manager, who draws on over 20 years of experience in the field.  Before joining The Peabody Little Rock, Scholl was director of sales and marketing for the Canterbury Hotel in Indianapolis, a position he held for four years.
 
Scholl´s overall sales background and experience at various meeting and convention hotel properties make him a valuable asset to the development and growth of The Elms Hotel & Spa in the industry. He is keenly aware of the vagaries of modern-day sales and marketing trends and is ready to introduce the Elms to regional audiences in Des Moines, Omaha, Wichita and NW Arkansas.
 
Under Scholl´s leadership, there are working plans on the table to establish Excelsior Springs as the definitive incentive and retreat destination in the Midwest.  At the same time, he is ensuring that The Elms is on every meeting planner´s "A" list for intimate retreats, training meetings and of course legendary social events.
 
Scholl has won many awards and accolades: Dale Carnegie Highest Award for Achievement, 1995; General Manager of the Year, 1997, Signature Inns, Inc.; Max PR Award for Branding, Preferred Hotels & Resorts, 2003; Indianapolis Business Journal, "Who´s Who in Hospitality 2003." Forbes Four Star-Peabody Little Rock 2009.

He lives in North Kansas City with his wife, Michele, and sons Tanner and Tate.
