Lodging Management Team takes 2nd in national competition

Lodging Management students Elizabeth Stalker (Ravena), Bailey Miller (Ravena), Christopher Thomas (Voorheesville) and Robert Hawk (Cohoes) came in second place in the 2006 National Lodging Management Competition held April 5-7 in Orlando, Fla. They competed against 10 other student teams from across the nation and beyond: competitors came from Cuba, Washington, Guam, New Hampshire, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Florida, New Mexico and South Carolina. Each team competed in night audit, hotel room inspection, food and beverage analysis, and sales and marketing analysis. Awards for Career & Tech's team include trophies, certificates and scholarships. The competition was an impressive showing for students who are in the very first year of the program at our school and competed against peers who have covered the same material over two years or longer! Special thanks to the New York State Hospitality and Tourism Association and Vice President Jan Marie Chesterton for their sponsorship and ongoing support.
