It already been a month?

The time has been passing by so quickley, cant believe it's the start of week 5!

Last week was very busy, as usual. I have come across my first complication- an event coordinator I'm working with for her upcoming conference for March did not block off enough shoulder dates for her attendees. Normally the hotel would be able to provide us with more rooms but this conference is scheduled at the same time as another convention and there arent anymore rooms to give. After much diliberation we were able to add on another hotel and fix the mess, thankfully!

This week is filled with meetings! Tomorrow is by far the busiest day for me, I have a presentation and then our office is getting together to head over to the capitol. For those of you who may not know, the Arizona Office of Tourism was being considered to have a budget cut by the state. After countless amounts of letters poured into our senators and legislators, the AOT was lucky enough to survive without any cuts to their department. So we are all heading over to thank our representatives!!

A new project I am working on is setting up a registration website for an incoming social event. This is new to me so I can't wait to see the finished product!

  1. I am in meetings all week as well... the Coast Guard is facing budget cuts as well, it's really interesting since they aren't allowed to make money, or lose money... we have to break-even which is extremely hard to do considering the amount of services we must offer.

    How did the AOT get around it?
