CINCINNATI, OH — April 6, 2004 - A special ceremony honoring the entire Event Management Team of
the Cincinnati Marriott Northeast will be held Thursday, April 8 at 6pm at the hotel. The Special Achievement
Award will recognize the team for their extraordinary efforts managing the hotel’s many special events and
groups throughout the year, and is a symbol of their pride in representing and promoting the hotel. The
Cincinnati Marriott Northeast is the only Marriott franchise in North America to receive this Award.
David Lanterman, General Manager of the hotel, said, "It takes great people to make teamwork. Our hotel
boasts the best group of individuals within any Event Management Department, from Dishwasher to Executive
Chef, from Banquet Houseman to Sales Manager. Our team focuses on one thing — customer satisfaction. The
great thing about this award ceremony is that everyone is involved."
The hotel’s Management team includes Sarah Miker, Sales Coordinator, Lisa Birck and Cathy Gamble, Sales
& Catering Account Managers; Toni Heilman and Shelly Delaney, Sales Account Managers; Executive Chef John
Walsh; and Dave Sundermann, Banquet Director.
Sarah, Lisa, Cathy, Shelly and Toni work closely with their customers to ensure every detail is addressed
for every event hosted at the hotel. Their attention to detail consistently ranks the hotel in the top
three in the Midwest in overall planning satisfaction surveys for Marriott.
The Banquet and Culinary teams, although behind the scenes, are also vitally important to the success
of any event. Executive Chef Walsh and his staff ranked within the top 10% of all North American
Marriott hotels in many categories, and in 2003, ranked in the top 5% in overall service. Also in
2003, the Banquet Team, headed by Dave Sundermann, finished in the top 5% of all full-service Marriott
Hotels in overall satisfaction.
The Cincinnati Marriott Northeast is owned by a partnership of Cincinnati-based Western Southern Life
Insurance Company/Eagle Realty Group and Winegardner & Hammons, Inc., and is professionally managed
by Winegardner & Hammons, Inc. The hotel is conveniently located near many major Cincinnati area
businesses, including P&G, Siemens, Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, Ethicon-Endo Surgery, Cintas, Toyota
