INDIANAPOLIS, IN – March 1, 2016 – The Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) announced the recipients of the 2016 Tower of Excellence Awards in Ft. Worth, Texas on February 18, 2016. At the celebratory event recognizing the 15th anniversary of the awards, the Association presented ten company and individual awards and honored one recipient with the Lifetime Achievement Award. The 2016 awards were presented as part of a two and a half day conference of education sessions, networking opportunities and an expo hall.
“CHPA has been honoring members’ successes for 15 years now,” says Mary Ann Passi, CAE, CHPA’s CEO. “It has been such a pleasure to showcase these companies and individuals that are positively contributing to the industry. To watch the program grow from just five awards to what is today is a testament to the excellent work that our member companies are doing in providing their services.”
Increasing in prestige each year, CHPA’s Tower of Excellence Awards highlights the most noteworthy achievements in the industry. Members use this recognition to validate and distinguish their companies’ successes. Each year, more nominations are submitted to be judged by an unbiased panel of association and marketing professionals. This year, CHPA received over 60 nominations.
“It is only fitting that CHPA received a record-number of nominations to honor members at the 15th anniversary of the Tower of Excellence Awards,” Passi says. “Celebrating these achievements as well as the 20th anniversary of CHPA this year has been inspiring and helps members and leadership to focus on growing CHPA. Congratulations to all this year’s winners!”
