Phillip "Marty" Beery
Director, Air Reservations

Marty Beery joined Summit Management Services as Director of Air Reservations in 1992, after five years with Hickory Travel Systems, a nationally known travel agency specializing in after-hours service. He began his travel industry career with Ozark airlines, and maintains a close association with Summit's Airline Partners.

As Director of Airline Reservations, he is responsible for processing more than 10,000 airline reservations each year. He aggressively negotiates discounted "zone" fares for each client meeting, which resulted in an average domestic ticket price of under $500.00 for our conference attendees in 2001. His experience in the travel industry extends to international travel from the farthest corners of the earth - a necessity for our clients in global economy.

Marty credits his mid-western background for the friendly, courteous and professional attitude he brings to the company.
