NOVEMBER 4, 2009 - Brad Duncan has joined the AAA Four-Diamond Chateau on the Lake Resort, Spa & Convention Center in Branson, Missouri, as Sales Manager. In his new position, Duncan coordinates meetings, conventions, and stays at the resort for religious groups, motorcoach tour groups, and for groups in southern Missouri. The 301-room resort boasts one of the largest convention centers in Missouri, with 43,500 square feet of flexible meeting space, with the ability to host groups from 10 to 3,000. The resort is a consistent recipient of the meetings industry's highest honors, having recently captured Successful Meetings magazine's highly coveted “Pinnacle Award” for 2009.

A 14-year hospitality industry veteran, Duncan comes to Chateau on the Lake Resort, Spa & Convention Center from Wyndham Vacation Ownership, where he served as an in-house sales representative.
