Four weeks removed from his unsuccessful bid at US Presidency, Mitt Romney returns to Marriott International’s board of directors.

The former Republican presidential candidate has been welcomed back to his role on the board after previous stints from 1993 to 2002 and from January 2009 to January 2011, the Boston Globe reported.

Members of the Marriott family have been long time contributors to Romney’s campaign, donating funds to the Republican Party and his super political action committees.

Marriott is seen as one of the most politically active hotel groups in America.

The Marriott brand has given over $2 million to the Romney campaign, opensecrets.org reported.

“It is an honour to once again be able to serve in the company of leaders like Bill Marriott and Arne Sorenson and to support the work of the tens of thousands of Marriott associates who make Marriott International the renowned success that it is,” Governor Romney said.
