Bio
William MacCallum, CHA
I had the honor of working with Marjorie twice; once as a new Executive Housekeeper and again most recently at the Courtyard Marriott Waterloo. I was fortunate enough to learn great things by Marjorie that shaped me into the General Manager I am today and I owe her a lot in my career. To have the opportunity to work with Marjorie as my Sales Manager in my first General Manager role was incredible. She is knowledgeable in her understandings of Sales and building and maintaining crucial relationships; in and outside the hotel. She is truly a special person who mentors and cares for her team members. I am lucky to say she was a colleague (twice) but will always be a close friend.

Contributed to the change over of the hotel from a value priced to a historic boutique hotel that targeted the local thriving arts community. My most successful guest event was to have a floor party instead of the usual Grand Ballroom location we closed off a section of the hotel and had something special in each guest room so the clients throughout the hotel discovering it charm while a jazz trio played in the hallways.

Mar 2008 - Apr 2011
This organization had just formed when I started. My first priority was to our members, which I increased from 67 to over 300 with sales over $300,000. This gave the organization the ability to participate in my programs in advertising and promotions. I attended conference for tour operators and meeting planners as well as numerous trade-shows each year. I had regular television and radio appearances promoting the area. I assisted in the success of tourism partners through our programs and by connecting partners to create greater success for all. Show less
