Roland Tanner, Utell`s vice president of information technology and distribution, has received the honor of being elected to serve as the 2002 president of the Hotel Electronic Distribution Network Association (HEDNA).

HEDNA is a not-for-profit hotel trade association founded in 1991 by the hotel industry to stimulate the booking of hotel rooms through electronic channels, such as GDS?f and the Internet. Dallas-based Pegasus Solutions is a leading provider of hotel industry transaction processing solutions and electronic commerce services.

According to Tanner, his new leadership role with HEDNA is especially meaningful due to the Pegasus Solutions` instrumental role in hotel electronic distribution. “Pegasus` heritage is rooted in the establishment of the hotel industry`s first hotel electronic distribution system, and HEDNA`s mission is to continue to drive electronic distribution across the hospitality industry. It`s a perfect fit and a wonderful honor to serve as president of HEDNA,” Tanner said.
