AIHP is Up and Running

http://www.independent-innkeeping.org/ Here is the link to their web site

I see a typo near the bottom of the home screen. It says "Knowledge Sharing Summit and Marketplace - April 4-6, 2015, Nashville, TN". Should be 2016, not 2016. This summit might be a good place for some of us near Nashville to have a little get together.
I just joined AIHP. I'm excited about this organization! The goals sound really good.

Uhm shouldn't that be, " should be 2016, not 2015"?

Sounds good to me!

Does AIHP have a logo yet? I need a member badge for my website since I dropped PAII.

I assume this is it since it is in the logo section of their site.
You will have to resize to fit.

Thanks EN.
Logo section? Just for fun, I spent 10 minutes looking for a logo section on their website. Never did run across it.

I received a personal call today from a board member. Apparently they're calling individual B&Bs and making pitches for membership. I told the caller I had received information about joining, but hadn't had time to review it and decide if the benefit was worth the cost.

I joined for the advocacy aspect. This is one place I do not look for benefit other than standing together to make a voice louder than Kathleen spitting in the wind.

I joined for benefit: the continuing education, trade show, and camaraderie aspect. I don't expect a lot of results from advocacy, but will be happy with whatever they might accomplish there.

I shared some ideas with them. It sounds as if they have some similar ideas. The "knowledge sharing" tagline is an example of what they hope to do. I would like to think they will be trying to avoid falling into the same old conference paradigm.
We have yet to attend a conference because we do not care for the format a lot of them use. It seems very similar to a format I saw often in government and those were not very beneficial.
We do get the benefit of meeting some fellow innkeepers.

Id be looking at webinars for key topics, facebook,twitter, marketing - where anyone who joins can watch them any time.

Got that call too. Wasn't able to talk at the time, so he asked if it was OK to send an e-mail. Sure (I am already subscribed to their mailing list....)

And we are good spitters

I see the Nashville AIHP meeting is at an airport hotel with no car charger :-(
So I'll probably fly in and take their free shuttle to the hotel.
Wish the big hotels could keep up with the smaller inns regarding car charging! They could install them a lot easier than we can.

There is plenty of time to ask them to install one. You never know- they might.

Yes I had the same thought. Not counting time, it would cost me $4 to drive there in the electric car, vs. hundreds to fly. Plus, when you look at TSA security time, it's almost as fast to drive!
