VIP Corporate Housing Congratulates Brad Laspe on Election to CHPA Board of Directors

Saint Louis, MO, January 20, 2010 -- Brad Laspe, Vice President and General Manager of VIP Corporate Housing, was recently elected by fellow members of the corporate housing industry to help lead the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA). Laspe’s recently acquired position on the CHPA Board of Directors will allow him to be more involved with promoting the industry as a whole.

“I initially got involved with the CHPA because I wanted to get a better feel for the pulse of the industry, and the CHPA is the most involved networking group for executive housing professionals,” said Laspe. “I have spent many years being involved with the organization by attending conferences, speaking on panels at past events and serving on the communications committee this past year. CHPA has allowed me to learn so much more about temporary housing and I was eager to get more involved by joining the Board of Directors.”

Laspe has worked with VIP Corporate Housing for more than 10 years, since the company was still in its infancy. Since then, Laspe has worked his way up to Vice President and General Manager of VIP Corporate Housing. Prior to joining the executive housing industry, Laspe worked in property management and oversaw multiunit apartment complexes. Laspe is currently growing VIP Corporate Housing by spearheading major expansion efforts in new cities such as Indianapolis and Kansas City.

“My main goal is to increase international awareness of the corporate housing industry as a major player in the hospitality industry. There are many times when a company or individual would be much better served by choosing a short term business apartment in lieu of extended stay hotels. Corporate housing apartments feel more like home, have the space and amenities to make travelers much more comfortable and for stays that are a month or longer, they are many times much cheaper than the alternative. By serving on the board, I can help our organization spread the message to the business community that we are ready to embrace travelers to make their long stays as comfortable as possible,” said Laspe.
