She said that the MHLA board of directors chose Henningsen to receive the award because of his extraordinary contributions to the hospitality industry, at both the state and local levels.
Henningsen has worked in the hospitality industry for 35 years, including the past 19 years that he has been employed by Plamondon Hospitality Partners in Frederick, Md. He currently serves as the association chair for MHLA.
Peter Plamondon, co-president of Plamondon Hospitality Partners, said that Henningsen is a recognized leader, and respected by his peers, direct reports and the lodging and tourism communities.
“Mike has been a driving force in our company’s growth since 1999, and it is a great privilege to work with him each day,” Plamondon said. “His drive and professionalism inspire others around him, and his strong commitment to community is evidenced by his many past and present leadership roles in various nonprofit organizations.” -
