Brian Knapp Named President of IMN Solutions

WASHINGTON, DC, December 30, 2011 – Brian Knapp has been named President of IMN Solutions, a leading meeting management company and strategic consulting partner in association and foundation management. The announcement was made by Jack Sammis, CEO and Founder of IMN Solutions.

Knapp has been with IMN Solutions for 24 years and was previously Executive Vice President.

His new role recognizes the increased operational responsibility Knapp has assumed in recent years as Sammis has focused more on international projects, including the Alliance for International Meetings & Commerce (AIMC), which is managed by IMN Solutions.

“Brian has been a critical player in IMN Solutions almost from the beginning,” Sammis said. “The relationships he has built with clients, his sales ability, and now his increased operational responsibility have helped our company succeed.”

Knapp added, “I am honored to accept this new role and plan to build on the customer-centric service model that Jack has established over the years. It has served us well and has defined our company in the market as one that forms strategic partnerships with its clients.

“During the last year we have also strengthened the full-service capabilities of our company by counting on our existing professional staff and new key hires. These individuals will be highly visible this year at meeting industry events, participating side-by-side in professional development programs with our clients so we can stay on the cutting edge of meeting management services.”

Knapp’s new role is effective January 2, 2012.
