Tri-State Conference
2009
The conference was awesome and I hope everyone made it home safely.  The facilities there were ideal and service top notch. My thanks to all who contributed in making it one of the best conferences ever!
There were many behind the scenes efforts made, for which I am greatly appreciative.  I do not have a list of all involved, but will try to thank those as they are brought to my attention.  As you have a chance to communicate with them, please convey my gratitude for their support. I am glad that our Association initiated our first Tri State event and especially grateful to all members that participated. You should all be proud.
            The Aspiring Innkeeper’s class provided attendees with valuable information and awareness to issues. The camaraderie gained allowed everyone to exchange ideas and helped us recognize our support group has now broadened to three states.  I attempted to meet everyone, however find I am associating many new faces and names to characters from the fun filled Murder Mystery we attended.
                The tools were there for all of us to use, from the many informative workshops, PAII’s CEO-Jay Karen’s presentation to Scott McKain’s educational lecture and book. It just didn’t stop!
            Again for those that attended, thank you! For those that didn’t…we missed you!
This conference has served to refresh and rejuvenate our Innkeeping souls. Now it’s time to implement.
