USA Hosts, a leading Destination Management Company (DMC) in North America for over 50 years, bolstered its leadership ranks with three key hires: Rachel Elliott, Joshua Jones and Beth Duke.
Elliott resigned her position as Senior Vice President at Global Events Partners (GEP), where she played a key role in developing its global partner network from scratch.
“Helping USA Hosts expand its Alliance of DMC’s is going to be a fun challenge, and I look forward to it. I can’t wait to show our clients how much we have to offer.”
Two other industry veterans are also joining USA Hosts as Vice Presidents, Beth Duke and Josh Jones, both formerly of Baskow & Associates.
“Beth and I saw this as a fantastic opportunity to do something very different – take all we have learned about service excellence and high standards at a local level and expand it across the entire USA Hosts network,” said Jones.
Said USA Hosts Chairman Frank Andrews: “Earlier we announced the hiring of our new CEO, Jennifer Patino. She and our president, Terry Epton, are going to work with our new and existing leaders to strengthen all that is already great about USA Hosts and take our company to the world stage. We are very excited.”
USA Hosts was the first-of-its-kind Destination Management Services Company in the United States, opening in San Francisco in 1958. Today it is a network of DMC’s servicing more than 40 destinations in North America.
USA Hosts provides a full-service approach for special events, transportation management, lodging, venue selection, tours, activities, dining programs and much more.
