“Greg is the perfect person to lead our green lodging and green hospitality industries into a new era of expansion,” said Christine Kane, CEO of Audubon International. “Now is the time to leverage the hospitality industry’s influence on management practices. We have strong interest in establishing a partnership that will further solidify these vetted, respected third-party certification programs as the industry standard. Greg’s extensive experience as a thought leader in the hospitality industry will help us achieve this goal.”
