PAUL JUBB State President President’s Report
THA Awards for Excellence As I write this article, we are just over a week away from our industry night of nights. The THA Awards for Excellence event is on Monday 21st August in the Tasman Room at Wrest Point. As it is every year, the winners on the night can then nominate for the National Awards on the Gold Coast on Monday 18th September at RACV Royal Pines Resort. This year I feel will be the biggest and best awards night we have held for many years so I encourage as many members and corporate partners to make the effort to get along and enjoy a wonderful night of socialising with friends from the industry. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all nominees the very best of luck in their chosen categories and I hope you all enjoy a wonderful night.
State Election With a state election due anytime between now and March 2018, the THA is working hard on finalising our election policy document to present to the political parties on our members behalf. A clear focus of our policy on behalf of our association is making a positive impact for our THA Members’ businesses. Whether that business is a restaurant, café, accommodation venue, hotel or club – we want to get outcomes from the political parties that help you in as many ways as possible to run your business. The THA through our CEO Steve Old and our THA Board, have been lobbying hard on behalf of our members for many months now and we are confident that we have built a strong foundation for support from the political parties for our members and industry. Some of the key focus areas of our policy for members are : - • Drive Economic Development and Sustainability; • A Regulation and Policy system that provides a better managed and safer industry environment; • Employment strength through focused Workforce Development, Training, Industrial Relations & Social Media; and • Focus on providing the benefits of Visitor Growth and the Shared Economy throughout all regions of Tasmania. Members need to be aware that a strong focus of our lobbying work is around getting great outcomes for our members. Not only will outcomes focus on our members but we will also strongly communicate our messages to our members and keep you informed as best we can. There is no better time than an election to seek the very best outcomes for our members and that is what the THA is working hard to achieve. Rest assured, we want to make your business the best it can be. If you have any policy ideas or issues you want addressed, please contact our office and we will include them on our policy document.
