Chesapeake, VA (PRWEB) March 12, 2008 -- LTD Management Company, L.L.C.

Nominees' names are submitted by fellow LTD associates.

"Our values enable us to manage our hotels more efficiently and help build character for our associates. Marion has embodied these values since day one, twenty years ago when she joined our team. We couldn't be more proud to honor her with this award," said Hari Thakkar, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of LTD.

Sawyer was picked out of four final nominees for the inaugural award. Under her leadership, LTD won the "Spirit to Serve" Award at Marriott's 2007 Owner's Conference.
