Chris Pappas
President & CEO
It is my pleasure to serve the Massachusetts Lodging Association as your President and CEO.  I bring 35 years of hospitality sales and marketing and leadership experience having spent time at Massport, the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, Meet Boston (GBCVB) among others.  In 2001, I started by own company, Open the Door, Inc.
 
I have been actively involved in the MLA for almost 20 years and understand many of your needs and concerns.  In order to grow our association, I will need the help of each of our member and industry partners.
​
I look forward to bringing my expertise in marketing and communications to the MLA.  Please reach out with any questions to me at [email protected].
