We welcome the new members into the fold and also thank Nitin Nagrale, Founder and General Secretary, HPMF, for giving us this platform to launch I-PHA East India chapter,” said Vaishali Sinha, Founder and General Secretary, I-PHA.
The event was attended by more than 250 hotel professionals, including General Managers, Purchase Managers & Executive Housekeepers, Media houses and Vendors from all over the country at the Mayfair Lagoon Hotel.
Inducting the new members, Vaishali said that there was no looking back now and the entire I-PHA committee strives towards assisting housekeeping professionals in their growth and education. The new members of the executive committee appointed included Saumya Ranjan Samantaray – Rooms Division Manager at VITS Bhubaneshwar and Santosh Jena – Executive Housekeeper at Hotels Empires Bhubaneshwar. They will be taking IPHA forward in the entire East India Region under the guidance of Vaishali Sinha and Sonia Mital.
