Marriott's Women Executives Help Lead the Way

Marriott International, Inc. was recognized by the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE) as one of the Top 50 Companies For Women in 2012.  Marriott was ranked in the top 15 on this list, which recognizes organizations whose policies and practices encourage the advancement of women.
