HFTP Extends Board Application Deadline to April 4
MARCH 25, 2009 - Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP) is now accepting applications through April 4, 2009 for its Board of Directors, a group that helps shape the association.
The combined experience and vision of the board is key to HFTP's accomplishments, and the HFTP Board encourages members to contribute their talents by being a part of its leadership process. The association is currently seeking out members for the 2009 Nominating Committee and for officer and director positions for the 2009-2010 HFTP Board of Directors.
The Nominating Committee, the group that identifies and selects the next generation of leaders, will meet May 1-3 at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport Hyatt Regency to interview those interested in joining the HFTP Global Board and Executive Committee. They will be looking for global leaders that are strategic thinkers and have the ability to see the big picture.
"Serving on the HFTP Global Board has been an all-around rewarding experience," said HFTP Global President Jules Sieburgh, CHTP, a hospitality consultant with O'Neal Consulting. "The collective professional experience of the directors contributes to the growth and success of HFTP, and in return we individually benefit from the leadership opportunity and connections made from working together."
