The company announced today that Richard R. Kelley, chairman of Outrigger Enterprises Group Inc., will pass the reins to his son, Charles Roy “Chuck” Kelley.

The company, which owns 50 percent of Outrigger Lodging Services, also operates and develops hospitality related retail and real estate opportunities.
