Alliance Update, October 2023

Alliance Update
  • Texas ‘HOT’ or Not?
  • by Marketing & Operations Team

    We know we all just finished unpacking our bags from the 2023 Fall Members Meeting, but we wanted to briefly say how amazing it was to see those of you who could attend in San Antonio, TX. We got feedback that the gorgeous St. Anthony Hotel provided a beautiful atmosphere for networking, so now we need to make sure all future meeting locations have beautiful sunsets and a rooftop terrace.




    The BINGO was a great hit to create some fun and stay engaged. We were super excited that we had 30 attendees who won prizes! While we all experienced great swings in the room temperature, we also want to give a big shout out to the amazing guest speakers and room moderators who managed to stay cool under pressure. We really tried to keep presentations to 30 minutes to help keep content concise and we received comments that this helped maintain meeting flow. Additionally, we will continue to do breakout sessions at future meetings, but we want to hear YOUR ideas for topics, and we want these sessions to include more open round table discussions. If you have not already done so, please take the time to complete our Day 1 and Day 2 meeting surveys. We so value each person’s feedback and do our best to implement your thoughts and ideas!

    To keep the fun going, the dinner at the Buckhorn Saloon provided endless entertainment and wonderful food. We heard that everyone had a ‘hoot and the food was delicious’ and some of the local attendees were even impressed!
