MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
For the past two months the membership and corporate team have been quite busy gaining new corporates and getting out and about with the new podcast. We have been to the Huonville area to explore the impact on the greater community that the fires have had and the stories that have come out of a situation that has been damaging. We conducted three interviews in the Huon Valley that included Willie Smiths, The Grand Hotel and The Kermandie Hotel, I would like to thank Joanna (Kermandie), Ellie (Willie Smiths) and Georgie (The Grand) for taking the time out to share your stories. These interview can be heard on episode 4 of Hospitality in our Community. I have just returned from a National catch up in Brisbane with corporate managers from all other states to help better utilise our national network in regards to best practice with membership benefits and also discuss the obstacles that our industry is having nationwide. In the coming months we will be having regional forums that will be beneficial to whole of industry. These forums will be run over two days with the first day having a working group flesh out the obstacles and build the framework for a regional plan, in the evening there will be an industry networking event, where we can come together in a more social setting. On day two we will be providing more tailored information sessions and also some display stalls from our corporate partners. I encourage everyone to come along to this event when it is in your area.
I would like to welcome five new corporate partners who have come on-board with the THA recently and they are IPAR, Johns Lyng, Typeface, Salters Hire, and Jessups Solar Squad. As corporate partners of the THA, each partner has different offers that they can provide members. See our website for contact details. I have stated previously in regards to the THA Podcast, this gives us an opportunity to spread the hospitality word far and wide. As the months go on this will become a powerful tool for the whole of the industry as we endeavour to get out to most areas of the state to interview owners, operators, managers, staff, locals and politicians. Please go to our website to get more information on this new initiative and please subscribe, share and listen. The THA website is where you are able to go for any information you require about the THA and the site which has been restructured recently by our good friends at Beetle Black also contains relevant and up to date ER/IR information. If you have misplaced your member login please email Hayley at hayley@ tha.asn.au or call our office on 6220 7300. Finally, a lot of my time over the past six weeks has been around membership renewals. Under our association rules if you are not financial after the 31st of March, you will not be able to utilise the services of the THA. That could be an issue if you have any staff enquiries or issues that you may need some guidance on. Please contact myself directly if you need assistance in any
way in regards to your membership on 0439 119 343 or email nick@tha.asn.au
