Jay Pricher joined the company in 2009
Phoenix, Arizona-based Best Western Hotels & Resorts has promoted Jay Pricher to become general counsel. Pricher joined the company in 2009 and previously was vice president of legal.
He succeeds Larry Cuculic, who was senior vice president and general counsel at the company for 12 years before becoming president and CEO last week. Best Western Hotels & Resorts is a brand within the BWH Hotel Group global network.
