SACRAMENTO, Calif.--June 7, 2012--Jennifer
Wheaton, Marketing Manager for the California Hotel & Lodging
Association (CH&LA), was recognized by the California Travel
Association with the 30 and Under Emerging Leader Award. The award was
presented during the California Travel Summit yesterday at the
Sacramento Convention Center.
Ms. Wheaton started with CH&LA as the California Bed &
Breakfast Association (CABBI) Program Manager and was quickly promoted
to CH&LA Marketing Manager last year. In that time, she has
advanced CABBI’s efforts substantially. Just recently, Ms. Wheaton
completely redesigned the CABBI web site, implemented a highly
successful search engine optimization program, and has managed the
on-line advertising program that has grown exponentially since she
began managing the effort. Additionally, Ms. Wheaton produced the CABBI
Travel Guide ahead of schedule and under budget and received an Award
of Excellence from the International Society of Hotel Association
Executives for this publication last December.
“Jennifer’s desire to learn and her pursuit of educational
opportunities have benefitted the organization greatly as she further
develops into an industry leader,” said Rick Anderson, CH&LA Chair
and owner of the Casa Tropicana Inn. “We at CH&LA and CABBI are
grateful for her commitment to our industry and appreciate her
dedication.”
