WILDWOOD – The Greater Wildwood Hotel and Motel Association’s new executive director, Bob Sahasaylo, was introduced at a recent Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Sahasaylo, originally from Philadelphia, has been operating a coupon book in the Wildwoods since 2001. He is replacing Tammy Davis, who retired.
As the executive director, he is in charge of the Wildwoods Welcome Center and the Doo Wop Museum, as well as running the daily operations for the association, including a spring and fall car show.
President Steve Tecco said the association wanted to improve its marketing and presence on the island.
“We wanted to do something in the area of marketing in reflection to our mission statement to promote the Wildwoods and our association,” Tecco said. “(Sahasaylo) created Boardwalk Bucks and that is right up our alley, and he agreed to handle the marketing and social media.”
Tecco said when discussing Davis’ retirement, Sahasaylo indicated his availability, and they sat down and discussed ideas, and it seemed he was exactly what the association needed.
“It was a marriage made in heaven. He’s a very well-respected person. He loves the island and has a lot of enthusiasm,” Tecco said.
