"Bill has been an integral member of our company since he first came onboard with us four years ago, and he has contributed immensely to CCRA's continued growth and success in the U.S. market. He will be a key player in our international development team - through building and establishing new supplier relationships abroad."
Bill Lawrence first came to CCRA with more than 30 years' experience in the travel and hotel industry. He has held prominent sales, marketing and corporate development positions at top international hotel chains including InterContinental Hotels, Hilton International, ITT Sheraton and CIGA Hotels, Inc.. Additionally, Bill previously served as associate publisher of ASTA Magazine, publisher of the Official Hotel & Resort Guide and successfully led the corporate sales development for the Association of Corporate Travel Executives.
