Benefits of Membership

Testimonial

"Although the Rittenhouse became a member of Philagreen Hospitality Association and enjoys the many seminars and finds the newsletters very helpful, we hired Ms. Cohen to assist us in developing a road map for implementing green initiatives. She has proved to be most knowledgeable, introducing us to a number of green service providers. To date, with Ms. Cohen's outstanding support and guidance, we have implemented over 35 green programs that reduce our carbon footprint, making The Rittenhouse a safer place for guests and employees, while reducing expenses in a number of areas."
David Benton, General Manager and Vice President of the Rittenhouse Hotel, November 14, 2011
