Philadelphia, PA – October 2, 2008 - In its continued efforts to "go green," the Philadelphia Airport Marriott, already a Green Certified Marriott Hotel by Green Seal, has announced that Bradley J. Pacana, Director of Sales & Marketing is now a Board Member of the PhilaGreen Hospitality Association (PGHA), an eco friendly association in Philadelphia.

Mr. Pacana, who joined Marriott in 2003, is responsible for the hotel's total sales, marketing, e-commerce, reservation sales and customer care, and sales channel strategies.
