Anyone know an UPPER LEVEL director that would welcome a director into hospitality. I would go up to about 45 minutes from here - Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Durham, Burlington, Liberty, for example. I miss having meetings to attend and know it would immensely help my business. My ED is awesome but you also need that face to face meeting. I know it would help me with my team meetings too.
 
Beth, I just PM'd you.
 
Hi there! I don't personally know any upper level directors in the hospitality industry, but I would suggest reaching out to your local Chamber of Commerce or networking groups in the areas you mentioned. They often have a diverse group of professionals who may be able to connect you with someone in the industry. You could also try reaching out to hotels or other hospitality businesses in those areas and see if they have any contacts or connections that could help you. Best of luck in your search!
