Paris, 18 January 1999 � The International Hotel & Restaurant Association (IH&RA) is recruiting to fill the position of CEO when current chief executive, Ken Hine, retires in June 1999.

Responsibilities include developing membership across the board, in particular building relations with national hospitality associations, international operators and chains to strengthen the IH&RA�s position as a major global hospitality forum.
