From the President:

Pamela Patterson, CMP
2008 Chapter President
Sales Manager, Orange Tree Golf Resort

 
Welcome to the website of the Arizona Chapter of HSMAI - Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International. As a member of the second largest HSMAI chapter in the United States, I invite you to take advantage of the educational opportunities, networking events and the genuine fun of a collaborative association with peers.

With so many specialized programs geared towards your education and growth, you may have noticed that HSMAI & our Arizona chapter are definitely "changing for the better," which happens to be my theme for 2008. The changes are apparent at both the local and national levels.

HSMAI-Americas has addressed the need for diversity by offering webinars, special interest groups (aka SIGs), specialized conferences, customer trade shows, research publications and much more. All this will help keep you up to date in the current market place.

Your involvement with our local chapter, HSMAI-AZ, will get you face to face with your industry peers, offer you topical education, community involvement, the ability to grow and best of all, FUN!

I have been a member of HSMAI since 1999 and have found that it has enhanced both my personal & professional growth. It has also helped me develop some great relationships!

The opportunities are out there with HSMAI. If networking and education are what you want, we have it for you. If you want to get involved, I encourage you to join one of our committees. We are your association and here to help you.

If you have any questions about your membership or would like more information on how to get involved, please feel free to contact me. I'm so excited to be your 2008 Arizona Chapter President and look forward to "changing for the better!"
