President’s Message TO TAFE&E MEMBERSHIP,
What an honor it is to serve as your President! I am looking forward to partnering with the outstanding leadership on our board as we accept the opportunities and challenges in the coming year as we move our conference to Galveston, January 10th – 13th, 2019. TAF&E is “the preeminent association for fairs, festivals and entertainment events for all of Texas” with a priority goal of assisting our membership to make their events even better. Putting smiles on people’s faces - that’s what our members do - and our goal as an organization is to continue to provide them the tools to help them carry out that mission. We urge all of our members to utilize the resources available with your membership: · We are a sharing industry so use this directory to contact other members when you are facing a challenge within your own organization, · Contact the TAF&E office when you have a question or concern, · Attend our annual conference which always brings key topics and fresh ideas to attendees. And speaking of our annual conference our theme for the convention is “Catch the Wave – Oceans of Opportunities”. It will be the goal of the board to bring a conference next January that will highlight key education programming, excellent showcases, excellent vendors, a diverse trade show with entertainment and resources for all size events and, of course, FUN! We are excited about our move which I am sure will have its challenges, but it also provides a new look for TAF&E with opportunities to expand in several areas of our conference. Any suggestions you have for programs or sessions at the conference, please let us know. Mark your calendars now for the conference, January 10th – 13th, 2019 and watch for special emails and newsletters promoting that event. On behalf of the entire board, we wish you tremendous success with your event for 2019! Sincerely,
Jerry Huffman President
