Brandy Martin
Director of Convention Services
aka The Queen of Calm
Brandy focuses on the needs of Michigan-based groups coming to Grand Rapids for meetings and conventions. She helps them build interest and attendance prior to their GR event, and then provides extraordinary service once they’re here. She keeps her cool in the face of the swirl of multiple client needs – and even better, her demeanor helps calm everybody else around her.
Immediately following her graduation from Western Michigan University, Brandy headed west – to Las Vegas, where she worked in events for two iconic destinations. She came back to this area to serve as Convention Services for AHC+Hospitality before joining us in early 2018. And the rest is herstory!
