Friday 30th October WELCOME
Dear MHA Members, Guests, Sponsors and Supporters,
Just over a year ago on behalf of an outstanding Executive Committee, I made a commitment that we would grow our numbers, convey membership information even more so and in doing so, increase our influence on our people, the City Region and our amazing Industry.
This work began with an open survey asking you what you wanted from your Membership and I like to think we have maintained that perspective to date as it is your Association that we are merely guardians of. The reaction from everyone has been remarkable and very humbling with support in many ways, by many people helping us to refine and enhance the outputs of a very generous and diverse, but high achieving body of organisations.
I can only say thank you to those members who have become more involved as you are already helping shape the future of the MHA through what you do whilst changing people’s lives for the better through your magnificent charity work and kind contributions. For those not yet involved I actively encourage you to help in any way you can.
We've grown by 50% this year and as part of Europe's largest Hospitality Association within the Northern Powerhouse, and on the positive side of a recession, we should celebrate the achievement of our people tonight. I have no doubt we will go from strength to strength and as always I can only thank you for your continued motivation and support.
Enjoy your night,
Paul Bayliss MBE Fellow InstLM Chartered MCIPD
