Failed presidential challenger Mitt Romney will
rejoin the board of directors of Marriott International, the hotel
chain announced Monday.
"We are delighted that Governor Romney has agreed to rejoin our
board, on which he has served with distinction twice before," company
executive chairman JW Marriott Junior said.
The announcement came just weeks after his loss to President
Barack Obama in the November 6 elections.
Romney previously served on the board of Marriott International
from 1993-2002. He quit early in 2002 to mount a successful run for
Massachusetts governor and rejoined the company after an unsuccessful
presidential campaign in 2008, then served again on the board from
January 2009-January 2011, when he stepped down to run for the White
House this year, winning the nomination of the conservative
Republican Party before narrowly losing to Obama.
