As part of his service, Trieber will represent HFTP at industry events and also meet with HFTP members at chapter meetings and educational conferences in the United States and across the globe. His first appearances as president will take place this month at the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AH&LA) Fall Conference and International Hotel Motel and Restaurant Show (IHM&RS) in New York City on 8-12 November.
