✨ GBTA Philadelphia Board Member Spotlight ✨

We’re excited to shine this month’s spotlight on our Vice President, Ashley, a true leader and advocate within the travel community!

As Director of Sales & Marketing at Concord Hotels & Resorts, Ashley brings over 17 years of experience in the travel and hospitality industry. From managing corporate negotiated accounts to overseeing meetings and events, her work reflects a deep connection to the heart of business travel.

Ashley’s passion for this industry began right out of college, when she started as an admin and quickly fell in love with hospitality — a path she’s proudly followed ever since. One of her most memorable experiences has been attending the GBTA Legislative Summit almost every year since 2017, where walking the halls of Congress remains an unforgettable highlight.

Her favorite destination? Paris — for the food, the culture, and the art.
Her bucket-list trip? Greece, with plans to head straight for the water upon landing.
And her best travel advice? “Never book through an OTA… EVER.”

Thank you, Ashley, for your leadership, dedication, and enthusiasm in helping drive GBTA Philadelphia forward!
