From the President:

Janet Hof, CMP, CTA
2009 Chapter President
Assistant Rooms Executive
Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort & Spa

 
When I started to think of the message that I wanted to communicate to our HSMAI membership for 2009 - I really was stumped. There are so many things that important in my life and I am sure they are similar for some and very different for others. What will be my mission statement as your President for 2009?

Passion -

"What is your passion?" Everyone can do something but will they? Is it family, friends, or financial? Is it recycling, volunteering or politics? We all have something that makes us tick and makes us want to get up each and every morning.

For me - my passions are family and friends, a career that I enjoy each and every day, reading, traveling and my pets. I also have a passion for sending hand written cards. It is something that my aunt taught me when I was growing up and I think it is a lost art form with the technology of e-mail and test messaging.

No matter what may come up in our every day lives - we need to remember that every day is a precious gift. We have a choice to:

Learn
Do
Say
To Be

What do you want from your Arizona Chapter of HSMAI?

Please be candid and fill out our monthly evaluations so we can ensure that we are giving you educational topics that will enrich you both professionally and personally.

Get involved. Start small - come to a meeting. Join a committee. Try it out. You can donate a little time or a lot of time. You have to start somewhere.

If you say you will do something - do it! If you want to be heard - speak up.

I think Shakespeare said it best - "To be or not be be - that is the question"!

As for me, I am going to do my best for my family, my career (Thank you Hyatt Hotels & Resorts for 20 great years) and for you my HSMAI family. I have a great respect for our industry. It is ever changing and requires us to stay abreast in order to keep up.

Please let me know if you have any questions about your membership or want to know more about how you can get involved. I would love to hear from you and encourage you to show off your passion. Our association has a wild array of businesses involved, different personalities, and such a great base of people. Show off your passion. Make your mark.
