During his tenure with the firm, Bill has served as the Executive Director of the Automotive Fleet & Leasing Association, helping them to grow by 72% over just 3 years, along with growing their sponsorship revenue and other non-dues revenue. Bill earned his national Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation while there and also served as Executive Director of the International Association of Special Investigation Units, another client of the firm, nearly doubling their revenue within 4 years and stabilizing their reserves while also growing conference attendance.
We would like to sincerely thank Trisha Pugal, CAE - Interim CEO, who returned to help the WH&LA as a consultant as we went through the selection process, which also included guiding us through multiple months of the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing the multiple issues that arose, keeping us informed, and working closely with our team as well as our valued Lobbyist Kathi Kilgore to address the needs of our membership. Our gratitude also goes out to Monica Goeke and Lexie Mallary for maximizing their many skills and covering more bases the past few months.
All of us at the WH&LA look forward to welcoming Bill Elliott to join us to move us to the next chapter of providing valued member services as we maneuver through the phasing down of the pandemic crisis. We also look forward to having you, our members, get to know him and welcome him back to Wisconsin's lodging industry!
Sincerely,
Greg Stillman
2020 WH&LA Chairman of the Board
