Our members comprise the most sophisticated and talented professionals in asset management,” Sorensen said.
“HAMA provides a vital platform for asset management professionals to tap into the collective wisdom of the membership base and creates a concerted ‘voice’ for hotel owners on critical issues facing the industry. The power of the HAMA organization provides hotel owners unprecedented support for their lodging investments.”

His commitment to advocating for the hospitality asset management discipline and teaching the future generations is second to none.
