 Leslie Mishaan, a Guatemalan native, started her tourism career working for the Guatemalan Government, and in 1983 she transferred to Los Angeles, California. After six years in Los Angeles, she was promoted and transferred to Buenos Aires. In 1993, she returned to Los Angeles and took a new challenge; she accepted an invitation from Tropical Hotels Brasil as their North America, Mexico and Canada sales and marketing manager. The hotel chain has six properties in some of the most famous Brazilian tourist destinations. This job allowed Leslie to work closely with airline carriers, cruise lines, wholesalers, meeting planners, and incentive houses.
In May 2008 Leslie began working at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott as sales manager. As a pro-active sales manager, Leslie is involved in the development of several market segments, including multicultural, LGBT, and film & television production sales.
When asked why she joined MPI, she replied ”I have always been involved in meeting planning, but never in the United States, now in my new position with Marriott I wanted to get to know other meeting planners and local members of the travel & hospitality industry. I look forward to promoting and showcasing the newly renovated Los Angeles Airport Marriott and establishing long lasting relationships with destination management, production companies, and convention and visitor bureaus.”
Along with her busy sales manager career at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott she loves baking, swimming, and yoga. Watercolor painting is also one of Leslie’s many talents.
Please welcome Leslie to MPISCC! |

| Can your clients find you? |
|
They can if you're listed in the MPISCC Membership Directory. The Directory makes it easy for potential clients to find you by publishing your contact information. But wait - how can you be sure that the information MPISCC publishes in the Directory is accurate? You'll need to visit the MPI International website by at www.mpiweb.org to change your information with MPI International. Although the MPISCC Directory is published once a year (in October) MPISCC members can find you if your information has changed by keeping your contact information up-to-date on the MPI website at www.mpiweb.org. You'll need to know your membership number to change your profile as it is your password and your last name is your user name. |
