In business for more than 20 years, RMC now has operations in Aspen, Colorado Springs, Denver and Vail, Colo.; Jackson Hole, Wyo.; Park City, Utah; and its new Lake Tahoe Calif./Nev. operation. RMC is the official preferred provider of destination management services to luxury properties in each of its markets, including The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Montage and Four Seasons. The company currently manages and produces upwards of 250 annual corporate events, and that number is expected to grow by 30 percent in 2012.

“It is immensely gratifying to advance the RMC footprint, and to promote and bring on new people. We are positioned to continue to deliver the highest caliber corporate events with this group of experts on board,” said Nathan Boyd, president of RMC. “At RMC, we hire for talent, creativity, drive and a high standard of internal and external customer service. Each of these team members shows a dedication to service and professional performance that aligns with our core values.”

Leigh Trance, formerly the RMC director of national accounts based in Colorado Springs, has earned the vice president of sales role to lead all seven corporate sales divisions in an executive capacity. From her Colorado Springs base, she will be responsible for the goal setting, training and development of all corporate sales people with her new promotion.
