Business travel management company CWT has rejoined the Global Business Travel Association a year after leaving over what it saw as a failure to properly probe allegations against former CEO Scott Solombrino, according to Business Travel News.
Consider joining CEO Update. Membership gives full access to the latest intelligence on association management, career advancement, compensation trends and networking events, as well as hundreds of listings for senior-level association jobs.
The publication last week cited a statement from new CWT CEO Michelle McKinney Frymire.
"Now, more than ever, our industry must stand together to serve corporate travelers the world over as the post-pandemic return to travel gains momentum, and I am excited about the potential of our new partnership with GBTA, Frymire said. "We look forward to playing an active role at GBTA events and meetings, and in various joint industry research initiatives."
GBTA has introduced bylaw changes that enforce leadership term limits and expand voting rights and board diversity, Business Travel News reported, and in February hired new Executive Director Suzanne Neufang.
"We are delighted that CWT has taken the decision to rejoin GBTA at this crucial time for our industry, as we return to business travel," Neufang said. "Collaboration and thought leadership is such an important element of the association, and it's vital to have representatives from a global (travel management company) such as CWT."
