Kathy's success continued within the hospitality industry, but with a different venue…hotels. She served as an individual property Director of Sales in addition to Regional and National Sales and Marketing Management positions at such entities as Granada Royale (now Embassy Suites), Ramada Hotels and Sheraton Corporation.
It was an opportunity with Western Golf Properties, Inc. in the 1980's that brought Kathy into the golf arena and the choice was one that proved to be right. Through her tenure with Western Golf, she served as an on-site Director of Membership, left for an opportunity to be the General Manager of a private club, after which she returned to Western Golf. She was then elevated to Vice President of Sales and Marketing at the corporate level. Kathy was an integral part of the team that brought success to several top clubs on a national and international level. It is this vast exposure that enables her to evaluate and identify opportunities for change and improvement that result in higher success levels.
In 2000, Kathy joined Intrawest Golf and served as Vice President of Marketing and then Business Development, where she was charged with developing, implementing and managing the marketing strategies for Intrawest Golf's owned and managed facilities, along with securing management contracts for the company. She successfully secured management contracts with a prominent residential housing developer who has golf as a prominent and important amenity. |
