I wanted to contribute my time, knowledge, experience, and expertise in developing strategies that will help address the issues we are currently facing in the hospitality and tourism industries. I know I could make a difference by being an active and contributing member, and be the representative and strong advocate of the industry in the Northern Alberta region. I would like to see our region be fully engaged and participate in as many AHLA programs as possible, and I would like to be that “connection.”
I consider it a privilege to be a part of a collaborative and regional-based organization that seeks to support and strengthen the industry.
