Attend an showcase, win a diamond necklace. Jill Clark, Meeting Manager for the American Society of Hematology, who attended Associated Luxury Hotels International’s annual “ALHI Luxury Showcase” in Washington, D.C. in February, walked away with not just business cards and Conference Center brochures, but also a one-carat diamond solitaire necklace—the dazzling “Arizona Grand Diamond,” named after the Arizona Grand Resort, a member of ALHI.  The “Arizona Grand Diamond” was the second one-carat diamond presented this year as part of ALHI’s “2009 Diamond Tour.” ALHI awards the diamonds to publicize its portfolio of more than 125 Four & Five Diamond quality Meeting Motels, Resorts & Conference Centers. During the 2009 tour, ALHI will be awarding additional diamonds valued at more than $50,000 in one-carat diamond solitaires.
