Global Hospitality Association Announces Release of New Valuable Industry Resource
AUSTIN, TX. August 31, 2015 — Today, Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP), a global association created to further the knowledge and advancement of industry professionals, announced an exciting new service to its members and the industry at large — a fully searchable directory of consultants specializing in accounting, finance, technology, human resources and legal issues.
"HFTP is asked for lists of members with competencies in special areas that are available for consulting engagements on almost a daily basis", said HFTP CEO Frank Wolfe, CAE. "While we do not endorse any consultants or companies, we do try to assist the industry through our research centers and members as much as possible. This new resource is already meeting that goal!"
The project, pitched by HFTP Director Neil Foster, CHTP, MBA, Tech-Tonic Hospitality Services, is perfectly aligned with HFTP's mission and was embraced immediately. In the directory's first day of availability, HFTP saw a great surge of online traffic. The new service may be found here: http://www.hftp.org/education_resources/hftp_member_consultants/ and is available to everyone. Consultant members who are interested in being displayed in the directory can also complete a form on the same page.
HFTP is a global nonprofit association that uniquely understands the industry's problems and addresses them with solutions, like the consultant directory, quicker and more efficiently than any other organization via our expert networks, research, conferences, and certification programs. With approximately 5,000 members and several thousand more stakeholders across the globe, HFTP is recognized as the global spokesgroup for the finance and technology segment of the hospitality industry.
HFTP, founded in 1952 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, USA with additional offices in Maastricht, The Netherlands, and Kowloon, Hong Kong, is the global professional association for financial and technology personnel working in hotels, clubs and other hospitality-related businesses.
