    “Elaine was my supervisor for over 10 years, and I consider her to be one of the best managers I have had in my career. As a Director, she was very knowledgeable about the hotel industry and she shared that knowledge with those people who reported to her. Elaine was always available to assist us, she was supportive and very loyal, and her comments and suggestions always made you a better salesperson. I learned a lot from her, and I used her support to become a better salesperson and to increase my level of customer service expertise. I still value Elaine's opinion and assistance, even though we no longer work together. Any person who gets to work with her will benefit from her involvement in your career.”
