Power Planner of the Quarter

Who is a Power Planner? Quite simply, a Power Planner is a member of the Elite Meetings Community who has consistently used EliteMeetings.com for hotel searches, rated and reviewed properties, sent RFPs through SpeedRFP, booked meetings at Elite Certified hotels, and shares EliteMeetings.com with their peers and the rest of the industry.

This quarter we are recognizing an amazing meeting professional who has risen to the occasion and exceeded our expectation as a member of the Elite Meetings Community.  That’s right, move over Oscar and make way Nobel, because this prize recognizes one of our most loyal meeting professionals.

We are pleased to announce that Elite Meetings International’s Power Planner of the Quarter is Cate DeLaRosa, HR & Event Director with Ameriprise Financial. Cate has been a great user and supporter of EliteMeetings.com and SpeedRFP.

When asked about her experience with EliteMeetings.com, Cate responded, “Planning is not my full time job. For me, a tool like this – that compiles options in an easy to use environment – is huge…because [planning] is not all of what I do. I want a resource that is easy and allows me to find what I need in a timely manner, and EliteMeetings.com allows me to get what I need.”

Cate continues on, this time about SpeedRFP, by saying, “I have used SpeedRFP many times and it definitely sped up the RFP process. When I look at properties, I want to have one place, like EliteMeetings.com, to go to for sourcing and one place, like SpeedRFP, where I can type in the info one time and select 27 properties if that’s what I want to do. There’s no better tool out there.”

The Power Planner award will be awarded every quarter…will you be next?
