Please join us in congratulating our Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association (CFHLA) July Lodging Member of the Month, Benjamin McCarney, General Manager of the Grand Bohemian Orlando!

Additionally, Benjamin has been a fantastic partner with CFHLA and has dedicated much of his time time to showcasing and mentoring the younger generation about the potential career opportunities that are available within the hospitality industry.
