The award was presented at ALHI's prestigious Industry Advisory Council (IAC) Conference, recently held at the new Trump National Doral Miami, which brought together more than 275 senior leaders from many of ALHI's Accounts, with General Managers and Senior Marketing Executives of ALHI's worldwide Membership portfolio.

Robert “Bob” Weidner, III, President & CEO of Metals Service Center Institute and the 2015 ALHI IAC Chairman, presented the “Chairman's Award” to Boston's famed Seaport Hotel & World Trade Center. Receiving the coveted recognition were Seaport Hotel & World Trade Center's Vice President of Sales/Assistant General Manager Marianna Accomando and Vice President & General Manager Jim Carmody.

“Seaport Hotel & World Trade Center in Boston is truly deserving of this special recognition and award,” said Gabri. “It is an exceptional and dynamic hotel, with an extraordinary leadership team and staff, led by Jim and Marianna.
