On behalf of our AIHP team, we want to wish all of “you” our members, our partners and our industry a very happy
and safe holiday. For so many families around the country and the world, this has been a very difficult year. Sadly, this year we have endured the loss of friends and colleagues. We have watched and grieved with those that have been impacted by the hurricanes, fires and earthquakes. We have had loved ones who have dealt with, or are dealing with health issues. We want you to know that we are all as a team, inspired by the stories of perseverance and the grace with which those suffering have handled their trials. It has been amazing to see the human spirit during these very difficult times.
We are thankful for your friendships and your passion for this industry. We hope that you are able to enjoy and celebrate with your families this year and that you will celebrate all the good that you had in 2017 and look forward to 2018 with hope and excitement.
I have had a great time traveling this year attending many of our state conferences, and I especially loved having the opportunity to meet with many of you in person. As we continue to grow through alliances, being able to make personal connections with you, our members, is a truly fulfilling experience. From the founding of AIHP to the many new members I have met while traveling the nation this year, I am greatly appreciative of your loyal friendship and support. AIHP continues to grow and thrive because of you.
I hope to see you at our upcoming 2018 Knowledge Sharing Summit in Norfolk, Virginia! The conference, which will be held February 26th - March 1st, 2018, certainly won't be one you'll want to miss. I have many exciting updates to share with you, and I'm looking forward to reviewing the numerous successes of 2017, as well as addressing where we are headed in 2018.
Keep an eye out for a new AIHP communication feature coming in January 2018 called INNTouch with Rob. Each week, I will share with you my thoughts on important industry issues, introduce you to AIHP's new and exciting partnerships as they develop, and much more. This feature will be a fun way for you to stay informed of the behind-the-scenes of the professional hospitality industry, and to keep in better touch with me throughout the year.
With much gratitude from your AIHP Team —
Rob, Kathryn, Susan, Emily, Mary, Maura, Kathy, Brandon, Sarah and Patty
