WINS 2008 BEST CHAPTER OF THE YEAR AWARD!
Fourteen Chapters took home 34 awards from the awards dinner presentation on Wednesday, April 14, 2009 at the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association’s annual Leadership Conference held this year in Washington, DC.
The South Florida Chapter was honored as “Chapter of the Year” in the Best of the Best Awards – the highest category awarded. The national organization currently has about 30 Chapters world-wide so competition was pretty stiff.
In addition to the top award, the South Florida Chapter also won four other awards. In the “large” Chapter division (this is based on number of members), we won awards for our Website, Membership Development, Communications, and for Partnerships. Stacie Faulds, 2009 Chapter President, and Julie Wernick, South Florida Chapter Managing Director, were on hand at the Conference to accept the awards on behalf of the Chapter.
Thank you to Stacie Faulds and to Gabriele Gannaway (current VP Communications) for their efforts in preparing the award winning entries. Most of all Fernando Harb (our 2008 President and our current Immediate Past President) deserves kudos for his outstanding efforts in guiding our association last year along with the members of the 2008 Board. And to you wonderful active members:thank you for enabling us to achieve this major accomplishment.
