Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has rejoined Marriott International’s board of directors.

“It is an honor 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,” said Romney in a statement issued by Marriott.

Sorenson, president and chief executive officer of the chain, said that the hotel is “fortunate to have him back on our board.”

Romney has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since he lost the election, appearing in a Facebook photo with wife Ann on Thanksgiving and meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House for lunch last week.

Romney held a post with Marriott from 1993 to 2002, and later from 2009 to 2011, before he campaigned for the presidency.
