Liz Morris
Area Director of Sales
The occasions are many in which I have been told that my laugh can permeate a room. That zest for life is something that was taught to me by my grandparents and I take it proudly with me into my professional life. I am proud to consider myself a powerful, compassionate, and accountable leader – with a unique blend of tenacious ability to produce together with discerned understanding.
I consider it an honor to be a part of the hospitality and tourism industry. A noble profession, but it is also heartfelt, service-oriented, fun, exhilarating at times, humbling, but always honest and sincere. I have found my home in a blend of operations and sales & marketing. It’s a challenge – constant and changing – to learn new ways to tap into the human psyche to create moments of joy.
I make it a personal goal to act as a lighthouse for not only team members, but also for myself, because “You can still be KIND even when you’re going nuts.” Two important lessons – kindness and humor.

What We Do
Sales has evolved over the years and after the Covid-19 pandemic, the role of sales has changed dramatically. We have now adapted a regional approach to sales. Our methodology is to hire individuals with expertise in various disciplines and use them as knowledge leaders and teachers to train others.
