ALLIED MEMBER FEEDBACK

Looking back on 2007, the best marketing decision API made was to join the GPHA. The many network events, award luncheons and awesome golf outing were perfect settings to interact with the very friendly Allied Members and Hotel Professionals. This past year we have completed 3 large hotel FF&E projects and already have 4 new hotel projects on the books for 08. GPHA is a fantastic Association and we are very proud to be part of such a great organization.

-- Bob Sullivan, AIMM Philadelphia Installations
