McInerney implements and directs AH&LA's services as well as provides leadership to association members. He also works directly with the volunteer officers, board of directors, and partner state associations in determining the direction of the industry.
McInerney has nearly 50 years of experience in the hospitality industry, beginning with his first job in 1961 at the Sheraton Chicago as a staff planner. In 1970, he was named vice president, assistant to the president of the franchise division, and moved through the ranks until he was named president of ITT’s Sheraton franchise division in 1980. After 25 years with Sheraton, the Pritkzer family tapped him to be president/CEO to helm the launch of Hawthorn Suites.
