New Chairman of the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association




I was pleased and proud to have been installed last week as the statewide Chairman of the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association.  With over 2500 member businesses, the PRLA represents more tens of thousands of employees.  The PRLA strives to provide educational opportunities both for existing operators, as well as aspiring hoteliers and restaurateurs, and also provides strong advocacy for those in the hospitality industry throughout the state.  It's a great group of highly motivated, risk-taking individuals, and a group that I am honored to lead.  I look forward to a productive and fun year!

Pictured above are some members of my family and members of our Priory Hospitality team.   From the left:  Jim Lazeration, Executive Pastry Chef, Priory Fine Pastries; Tim McGlothlin, Director of Guest Services, Priory Hotel; Adam Frye, Front Desk Associate and PRLA Employee of the Year award winner; Priory Hospitality Senior Catering Manager Sara-Lynn Hunter; Courtney Burns, Assistant Catering Manager; Giuseppe Provenza, Director of Facilities; Pam Eyermann, Assistant Catering Manager; Max Graf, my son and current Front Desk Associate; Kathy Schrecengost, Assistant Pastry Chef and Store Manager, Priory Fine Pastries; Me; my wife and co-owner Suzanne; our 13 year old son, Charlie.
