HORSHAM, PA, November 03, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rob Rush, President & CEO of LRA Worldwide, Inc., has been invited to the Penn State University School of Hospitality Management as a guest speaker. Rush will address the Colloquium in Hospitality Management class on November 8th, joining a distinguished roster of speakers to address the seminar-style class this semester.

Rush's seminar topic is titled "Building LRA - the Journey," and will focus on the challenges of building a company that services a unique niche of the hospitality industry. LRA Worldwide is the leading provider of Quality Assurance Evaluations and Brand Assurance Audits for the global hospitality industry, and also provides a variety of additional "guest experience" measurement and improvement offerings in hospitality and beyond. Clients include such industry leaders as Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and InterContinental Hotels Group; outside of hospitality, LRA counts the National Football League, International Speedway Corporation, Sunrise Senior Living and The San Diego Zoo as clients.

"Rob's perspective on the hospitality industry - as well as his insights into travel, sports, entertainment and more - will provide the seminar series with a valuable point of view," explained Dr. John O'Neill, Director of the Penn State University School of Hospitality Management. "Building a company from the ground up and managing its steady growth through some historically turbulent times in the industry is a compelling story and one that will complement our previous subjects nicely."

Rush is the latest in a list of prominent industry professionals to address the class, which offers students the opportunity to interact with industry leaders and ask questions in a focused yet intimate setting. Those preceding Rush include Steve Rushmore (President & Founder, HVS Hospitality Services), Bob DeSalvio (President, Sands Bethlehem Casino & Hotel) and Brian Sparacino (SVP, Sales & Marketing, Interstate Hotels & Resorts).

"I appreciate the opportunity afforded me by Dr. O'Neill to interact with the best and the brightest of the next generation of hospitality industry professionals," said Rush. "It's personally rewarding for me to share the LRA journey and the students benefit by learning about a non-traditional career path within the industry."
