Legacy and Change at The Sitzmark
Show Notes

VVP's Erik Williams is welcomed into the lobby of the classic Sitzmark Hotel in Vail Village to talk transitions!

How do you let go of something after 49 years?
In this case with grace and confidence in those you are handing it to.

Erik is joined by Jeanne Fritch, whose family has owned and operated the property for 49 years and Steve Kisielica, who's family takes over the reigns.  Jeanne talks about the importance of finding an "heir" to The Sitzmark who will maintain the legacy while still embracing  changes in the industry.  Steve shares his vision for the future while talking about employees and business in Vail Village. 

Erik mostly keeps quiet in this one, it's a fascinating discussion:)
