SALES & GROUP AVAILABILITY E-MAIL DIRECTORY
Cheryl Jelinek
Senior Sales Manager
Working in a single department in one hotel all of your adult life is easy for Cheryl to proclaim but it makes it difficult to write a colorful bio. Cheryl has indeed only worked in the sales department over the past 24 years, first as an assistant, then as executive group sales director and, for the past 10 years, covering Florida’s corporate and association markets.
