“On behalf of the entire AIHP education planning team, thank you for presenting at the Summit 2018. We know it takes time to plan and prepare, and we appreciate the excellent content you offered to attendees. We look forward to seeing you next year!” –Kathryn White, Association of Independent Hospitality Professionals
“We are incredibly grateful to have had you as teachers at the Innkeeping Show in Las Vegas. (I think the term “speaker” doesn’t accurately reflect what you actually do for our attendees). We realize the amount of time it takes to prepare for these workshops, and you have my sincerest gratitude. Our events consistently receive high marks from our attendees, and education has always been the crown jewel of what PAII has done for the industry. We could not do it without good people like you. Thank you so much.” –Jay Karen, past President & CEO, Professional Association of Innkeepers International
“I personally want to thank you for your wonderful contribution to the New England Conference in Mt. Snow, Vermont. The innkeepers were buzzing about your presentations. I spoke to a woman who attended your sessions, and she thought it was so valuable. Great fundamental knowledge every innkeeper should have. I think folks left really thinking about their inns and how they can do things differently.” –Donna Hudson, past Director of Education, PAII
“Thank you for doing such an incredible job at the BBAK Conference. You were both a real hit, and we all learned a great deal from your presentations. We greatly appreciate your passion for our industry and look forward to staying in touch with you in the future. You guys are the greatest!” –Todd Allen, President, Bed & Breakfast Association of Kentucky

From the President of the Bed & Breakfast Association of Virginia: “I can not thank you enough for the work you did with us on Tuesday. The group really took it to heart and applied it to our work today. We’ve developed a preliminary new mission statement and tag line, prioritized 4 BHAG’s and agreed how we are going to work together. The biggest thing is that they all signed up to lead or be part of task forces to tackle some of our issues. It was really good to see this group take an active interest in making changes and agreeing on what they should be – worlds different from last year. Thank you!” Kathryn Bundy, Owner Innkeeper of Foxfield Inn, Virginia

“Hello! My name is Alan Duxbury from the Carlisle House in Carlisle Pennsylvania. Today it is my pleasure to introduce The B & B Team. They are so well known in our industry that it’s a challenge to find something new to say about them, so I decided to use their own words from Facebook. ‘Red wine and chocolate. What could be better?’ ‘Now that’s what we call sexy! Give guests what they don’t have at home.’ ‘No one likes unexpected and unpleasant surprises, especially when a lot of money is on the table.’ So there we are folks. Gluttony, Lust, and Gambling. Fortunately, they are also awesomely good at advising innkeepers and helping them with the purchase and sale of inns and B&B’s, and even more importantly in helping us PREPARE for those two major events in our lives. They are ready to help you all score an innkeeping touchdown, they are The B & B Team!” — Intro at The Innkeeping Show, 2012
