PINE MOUNTAIN, GA - May 23, 2013 - The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Gardens, an elegant interpretation of a traditional mountain lodge in the heart of middle Georgia, proudly announces the addition of Perry Grice as director of sales. Grice brings 15 years of hospitality experience and 10 years in the Callaway Gardens market.

Grice began his career in hospitality at The Breakers Palm Beach, Fla. and over the years has worked through the ranks, serving in hotel conference services, as a concierge, on the catering sales team and in business travel sales. Prior to teaming up with The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Gardens, Grice served as director of sales and conference services at Callaway Gardens. Despite a declining economy, he maintained growth within sales while developing marketing strategies from the group and social business side. Grice also worked with Georgia State Park Lodges as regional director of sales and Renaissance Waverly Hotel & Convention Center as director of sales and marketing, both in Atlanta, Ga.

As a member of Meeting Planners International (MPI) and Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International (HSMAI), Grice will be responsible for all aspects of group sales, managing corporate communications and accommodations for group guests and activities. Grice is happily married to his wife Gail and enjoys golfing, farming, backpacking and fly-fishing.

“Leading the way in building collaborative internal and external relationships, Grice supplies fresh ideas, tactical plans and creative marketing approaches,” says Davis Brown, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Interstate Hotels & Resorts. “His compassion and vision align well with that of The Lodge and Spa.”
