Mohegan Sun is expanding its hotel sales and marketing team to serve the
needs of its burgeoning meetings and conventions business. To support this
continued growth, Mohegan Sun has added new positions to its sales force and
hired several new personnel to streamline operations and effectively serve
clientele. “We attribute our success in the meetings and conventions market
to our superior product and strong commitment to service,” said Christopher
R. Perry, vice president, hotel sales & marketing at Mohegan Sun. “Being
able to expand our resources and services with the superior team we have
assembled is a rewarding part of this business and we are delighted to
welcome our new staff aboard our award-winning team.” Joining the team is
Gary Baker who has been named National Sales Manager. In his position, Baker
will represent the hotel in the Mid-Atlantic association market to drive
long term group business for the property. With this addition, Mohegan Sun
adds a second sales professional to assist the lucrative Mid-Atlantic
association market.

With 20 years of sales industry experience, Baker most recently spent five
years as National Sales M anager at Foxwoods Resort and Casino in
Mashantucket, Connecticut.

Baker is the incoming president of the New England chapter of the
Professional Convention Management Association as well as co-chair of the
membership committee and chair of the Associate Member Task Force for the
International Association of Association Management Companies. In 2002, he
was voted “Supplier of the Year” by Meeting Professionals International,
Connecticut River Valley Chapter.

Additional promotions include: Elizabeth Horner as sales manager covering
the New England corporate market; Krista Dodge and Angel Montano, who have
both been appointed as executive conference managers handling corporate
groups of 75 rooms or less; and Matt Burris, who has been promoted to sales
manager for Mohegan Sun’s on-site destination services department.

The hotel at Mohegan Sun and Convention Center has become a major player in
the meetings, conventions and expositions industry with more than 100,000
square feet of flexible, high-tech meeting and function space.
