“I am so pleased to announce Courtney’s promotion to regional vice president,” said Mr. Terry. “He brings a vast understanding of the sales and marketing process to his new role and a solid history of accomplishments in multiple markets.”
Mr. Lowe was previously the highly successful director of sales and marketing for Bedford Springs Resort, the historically important property located in central Pennsylvania, which Benchmark opened and operated at the time.

Prior to this, he held the title of regional sales executive for Corcoran Jennison Companies of Boston, responsible for the Ocean Edge Resort of Brewster, Massachusetts, Cranwell Resort in Lenox, Massachusetts, and Hawk Mountain Resort of Killington, Vermont.
Mr. Lowe graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University, earning a Bachelors degree in Economics and Management. He has served on the board of a number of professional organizations, including the Hotel Sales & Marketing Association of Virginia, the Vermont Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, the New England Inns & Resorts Association, and the Vermont Convention and Visitors Bureau. Mr. Lowe and his family are relocating to The Woodlands near Houston.
