ROBERT WHITLEY, PRESIDENT OF USTOA, DIES AT 66
The ATME Board of Directors is deeply saddened to learn of the death of one of ATME's founders and board members, Bob Whitley, President of USTOA for 32 years.
Bob Whitley was one of the most recognizable and important people in the US and worldwide travel industries. He was a remarkable man in countless ways. His integrity, generosity, dedication to USTOA and the travel industry, incredible networking ability, and his wonderful joie de vivre were simply unmatched.
He will be truly missed by all of us.
