I have personally known Heather Colache for 15 years. I was initially impressed with her enthusiasm, communication skills and professional demeanor. I had the distinct pleasure of working with her on several committees for the Pennsylvania Bus Association (PBA). In addition, we worked together to secure the American Bus Association Annual Marketplace 2011 for the city of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia CVB. She entered into the partnership and agreed to provide an investment in the form of a leading sponsorship for the Atlantic City CVA. This allowed the allowed Philadelphia CVB to put in a comprehensive bid and ultimately win the bid for that convention. Her ability to see the big picture is a major asset. Heather is reliable, dedicated, organized, diligent and always upbeat. She supports a team oriented approach when she participates on a committee. Because of her experience and knowledge she has a keen sense that gives her insight into all aspects of our industry and her opinion matters. In her current position she provides her city and their hospitality team with a sense of camaraderie and presents a united front to her business associates, colleagues and customers. Heather has my highest recommendation, and I am happy to provide any additional information.
