Business, Employment, Organisations

I attended a hospitality industry conference over the past weekend where I was approached by two colleagues, and knew of others in attendance who were in the same boat, who are searching for new opportunities. I am not mentioning the conference or the organization which produced it. I do find it ironic however that this association is locally based without the support and resources of an international office such as HSMAI and all of these people were members prior to this group ending its affiliation with HSMAI. There is now another HSMAI chapter yet those choose not join.  Each of these individuals could have instant access to:

  1. An entire database of industry professionals along with their contact information
  2. Access to an industry specific Job Board filled with hundreds of opportunities
  3. The ability to network with vast numbers of their peers locally, regionally and around the world.

But don’t take my word for it. Watch and listen to Barb Bowden, General Manager, Peabody Orlando, and Vice President of Revenue Management, Peabody Hotel Group.

Yes, membership in HSMAI has advantages. If you wish to learn more about what these advantages are and how to best utilize them, please contact me at sherron@hyperdisk.com or visit http://hsmaiva.com for more information.

Hampton Roads, HSMAI, Meetup, Networking

The Hampton Roads Chapter of HSMAI now has a MeetUp Group We had our first MeetUp last night at the newly renovated Holiday Inn Norfolk Chesapeake. Our hosts were Violet Jernigan and Betsi Radd, two long time industry sales and marketing professionals. Our MeetUps are very informal and a great opportunity to share “war stories” and meet new friends in the hospitality industry. There is no charge to attend but it is appreciated if you let us know you will be attending through the MeetUp.com site. Make sure you join us at our next MeetUp, April 20, 2011.
