Colchester
Institute lecturer and Wivenhoe resident David McCaskey, has been invited
back to help judge the Hotel Marketing Association Awards 2008.
After successfully being
invited along to join the judging panel for the first time last year, the
Business and Management lecturer is thrilled to be bringing his expert
opinions to the judging process once again. See http://www.hotelmarketingassociation.com/
Sponsored by American Express,
The Hotel Marketing Association Awards are the Oscars for the hospitality
marketing industry and are highly contested with over 40 submissions in
six categories from the very best UK
and International hotel companies.
David joined the illustrious
panel last year. On being invited back, David explained “It continues to be an
honour to be invited along to judge such prestigious industry awards. I
thoroughly enjoyed my time on the panel last year and am thrilled to be
involved with it all again in 2008.”
All teaching staff at
Colchester Institute regularly undertake work experience and initiatives
in the areas in which they teach, in order to update and understand their
industry and keep their knowledge and teaching current.
David ensures his knowledge is
kept up-to-date through his membership to a variety of professional
institutions. Currently he is a Fellow of the Institute
of Hospitality, and a Chartered Marketer and Member of the Hotel Marketing Association.
David is very pleased that,
like so many of Wivenhoe’s artists, his work is on permanent display on
the Wivenhoe Encyclopaedia www.wivenhoe.gov.uk/people/mccaskey.htm
His work also achieves much wider dissemination via Intute, the GISC
sponsored Social Science website www.intute.ac.uk/socialsciences.
