Dear PPLA Members:

The Board is honored to select and highlight Cheyenne Mountain Resort as the first quarter recipient of PPLA Hospitality Highlights. This will be a new addition, giving us the opportunity to showcase Members, friends, and colleagues. It is also a wonderful chance for each of us to celebrate each other’s successes and remember that the entire mission of our Association is to support one voice and strong relationships between our Pikes Peak Region Hospitality Family. We offer you one more tool to get to know each other.

Happy reading and let’s celebrate Cheyenne Mountain Resort, Harrison, and his very worthy team!

On March 19, the Retail & Hospitality Sector Partnership facilitated by the Pikes Peak Workforce hosted the first Hospitality Speed Networking Night at Cheyenne Mountain Resort.

#PPLAEphemera

What a night at Ephemera! We were thrilled to host General Managers from properties throughout the region for an evening of networking and mingling with our PPLA Board and members.

The bites were delicious, the conversations were lively, and the atmosphere was electric. We're so grateful to everyone who came out and made the event a success!

#PPLAMentorMixandMingle

We had a fantastic time at the PPLA Mentor Mix and Mingle back in June! It was a great opportunity for hoteliers to connect with mentors and industry leaders, and for the next generation of hoteliers to learn from those who have come before them.

We're so grateful to everyone who attended and made the event a success!
