definitely interesting, the things they are working on, to enable the PAII membership to be able to benefit as many innkeepers as possible
Could you expand on this? I was interested but could not as I was out of town. Maybe interested in the one on the 16th if it includes non-member participation. Will need to look into this..or maybe Jay can answer!.
Jay is THE reason I joined PAII. Stay tuned for more benefits to the entire B&B community. Jay is my hero. Jay is awesome! Our superman. Gee, Jay. Is that enough pressure?

LOL! Yes, Jay is awesome. Makes me actually consider joining PAII!
I participated in the webinar. It was very interesting. Basically he presented a little history of PAII, the current membership costs and benefits, and his proposed changes. He asked us two survey questions about how we would respond if the changes were made, and I think he was pleasantly surprised with the positive [albeit unscientific] results.
The membership changes would make PAII benefits significantly more accessible, both to members and non-members and make a lot of sense to me.
The other thing he mentioned that they have in the works would benefit the entire industry as a whole, regardless of membership in PAII. I consider that project to be extremely overdue and necessary and I'm sufficiently impressed with it to also consider joining PAII.
They definitely are taking on the role (as well they should!) of representing the entire B&B industry. As such they need a large, healthy membership... not just to financially float the organization and allow them to do the kind of project they have in mind, but also because size equals clout. Jay's willingness to approach TA, whether successful or not, earns him my respect. But he will have a lot more sway with TA if he truly represents the B&B industry, which requires a significant increase in membership. The proposed changes are designed to make it practical and desirable for
every B&B to be a member.
