President's Report

Hello to All!! This picture brings me happy! It was taken at GBTA Leadership Summit in Portland, OR. Leadership Summit is one of the many events I have been lucky to attend as a TBTA board member! Most importantly, this picture describes my happiness of TBTA! We not only network, gain knowledge of our industry, collaborate, etc. but we do so much more...we laugh, we have fun, we create friendships, partnerships and so much more. As our speaker, Chris Klauda with STR, said on Tuesday...Nashville is it. Same with our organization...TBTA is it. We are not only growing in membership numbers but also invovlement, sponsors, speaker knowledge, new ideas, networking, and more. Thank you to all of our members and non members who bring so much to TBTA!!
