We need your support in hosting a monthly meeting for 2010. We are committed to offering our partner businesses the opportunity to showcase themselves. If you are new to AZBTA, if you have not hosted a meeting in 2009, or if there is a change to your facility that you would like to spotlight, why not host a meeting? We are seeking all types of venues to hold the monthly meetings, think creatively! Suggestions are appreciated! By hosting a meeting your business will benefit from networking experiences as well as the opportunity to promote your property/business to the AZBTA membership and guests by having them experience your location first hand, through a brief presentation at the beginning of our meeting and a tour at the conclusion of the meeting.
