GHCVB Hires Veteran Salesperson to Prospect Citywide ConventionsJuly 9, 2009
Contact Information: Greg Ortale, president and CEO of the GHCVB, thinks Solis' strong industry relationships will greatly benefit Houston. "I've known John for many years, and I've seen his ability to attract major groups to San Antonio. Houston 's convention package—greatly improved in recent years—is becoming more well-known, and I think John is just the right person to introduce our offerings to his long list of contacts." Solis retired from the San Antonio CVB as assistant executive director in 2008. During his tenure, he was involved in coordinating bids for citywide conventions and major events, including the 1996 NBA All-Star Weekend and the NCAA Men's and Women's Final Four Basketball Championships. His main responsibilities included managing the tactics and strategies related to marketing, public relations and the convention and tourism group sales and services efforts. Solis, a San Antonio native, earned a BBA in Finance from St. Mary's University. |
