Member of the Month – April 2012
Bette has more than 25 years combined experience in the hospitality and event industry. Her strong knowledge of event and meeting planning acquired by owning and operating businesses in Pittsburgh, PA led her to the hotel industry after relocating to CA. With a strong knowledge of sales and management skills she has brought success to her current position as Director of Sales at the Élan Hotel Los Angeles, a boutique hotel located at the edge of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
Her expertise in customer service has gained her favor with her many corporate clients that travel to LA on a regular basis. With a focus on strategic planning skills to further business goals, she is fast becoming the corporate ‘go to’ gal for hotel stays in LA.
She has held positions as VP of an insurance agency and owned and operated several businesses in Pittsburgh, PA. Upon relocating to Southern CA she held a position as Senior Sales and Events Manager at the Irvine Marriott, Director of Events and Catering at the Long Beach Petroleum Club and her current position as Director of Sales of the Élan Hotel Los Angeles.
Being very active in the Jewish Community in Pittsburgh, PA, it was exciting to find the LA Jewish Chamber of Commerce. It feels like home when she attends any of their functions. From the first gathering there was a warm welcome and extensions of friendship. Not only does Bette network from a business standpoint she has gained personal friendships through this chamber.
Bette attended the University of Pittsburgh as well as Art Institute. She is active in industry associations. In her spare time she loves to paint furniture, read, and visit museums and art galleries. She is the mother of a grown daughter who is the owner of 2M Consulting, a consulting and event planning firm specializing in non-profits, in Beverly Hills.
