"Working with this amazing group of hospitality executives to share life experiences, business matters and ideas has been life changing for me. Sharing experiences and solutions to problems with industry professionals is so much more rewarding and more successful than facing everything in a silo. The networking, the contacts and the learning experience has been extremely rewarding on so many levels. I cannot say enough about how much I have personally learned and grown from everyone at VRLTA.
