Los Angeles, CA The International Society of Hospitality Consultants (ISHC) in partnership with the Americas Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS) presented Peggy Berg, chair of the Castell Project, with the Pioneer Award which recognizes an individual annually who has made an outstanding contribution, achievement and/or improvement in the hospitality industry. 

Jeff Higley, ISHC, president of The BHN Group; Todd Leach, ISHC president and partner of Dedica Group; and Kristie Dickinson, ISHC treasurer and managing director/EVP of CHMWarnick presented Berg with the recognition during the conference plenary session.

Kristie Dickinson
 Dickinson remarked, “I can tell you first-hand that Peggy has had a direct impact on my life and career, and I am just one of the hundreds, if not thousands, of people that share the privilege of knowing her, walking through the countless doors that she has opened and following the path that she has blazed for our industry.”

Upon accepting the award, Berg noted, “Pioneers step forward and create opportunity when restrictions are lifted – whether they are technological, legal or other restrictions.” 

Andrea Belfanti

Established in 1996, ISHC Pioneer Award winners are selected on a basis of three criteria: active involvement in the hospitality industry; contribution to the industry; and personal/organizational attributes and qualities adhering to professional standards recognized and respected by industry peers.

“This year’s Pioneer Award is extra special," remarked Andrea Belfanti, CEO of ISHC. "Not only does Peggy have a long list of accomplishments making an incredible impact on the hospitality industry, but she also is a founding member, member #7, of ISHC.

"Her legacy is deep-rooted in the Society’s DNA, and we are thankful for her many contributions.”
