Michael Freedman, Vice President of Amstar DMC, was honored with the Jane E. Schuldt Society for Incentive Travel Executives (�鶹��ý) Master Motivator Award at the 2023 IMEX Gala Dinner in Frankfurt, Germany.

Known for his generosity, reliability and big heartedness — and for normally studiously eschewing the limelight — Michael is a business supremo, an incentive travel maestro and, most importantly, a human being par excellence.

Michael has been an extraordinary ambassador for incentive travel and for the DMC sector in particular, as well as an unstinting supporter of �鶹��ý and �鶹��ý Foundation. Born on the west coast of the USA, Michael circled around the hospitality and agency sectors for a number of years before finally landing at Amstar, where he’s been for almost 15 years. During that time, the company has grown manifold to become a go-to solution across the many destinations they serve, picking up two �鶹��ý Crystal Awards at �鶹��ý’s recent global conference in New York City.

Congratulations, Michael! 

The Jane E. Schuldt Master Motivator Award is presented annually to a �鶹��ý member who upholds the highest standard of excellence in creating and delivering successful incentive travel and motivational events and exudes energy, enthusiasm and a collaborative spirit in support of the global incentive travel community. The award is in honor of the late Jane E. Schuldt, past president of both �鶹��ý and the �鶹��ý Foundation.
