Your membership reflects the commitment that your business has to excellence, safety, industry alliances and professionalism in our industry today. I also like to think of BANY membership as the edge that you have over competitors who do not belong. As always, it is a pleasure to introduce you to the new 2017/2018 BANY Membership Directory & Resource Guide. As you will see, our membership continues to grow. Take the time to browse this comprehensive compiling of members and see who your BANY colleagues are! Regardless of your membership – operator or associate member – it is important to promote and support fellow BANY members when needed. The primary purpose of our association is to promote the motor coach industry for all the varied interests of our membership. From equipment suppliers to operators, tour and travel associates to products and services, your concerns and issues are the association’s as well. BANY reaches out to its membership through the “Friday Flash” newsletter and our Annual Meeting and Marketplace. I am very pleased to announce that our 2017 Annual Fall Meeting and Marketplace will be taking place October 22 – 24, 2017, at the Saratoga Hotel & Casino. This new deluxe hotel property is sure to please our delegates, and our Meeting Committee is hard at work finalizing the agenda. Highlights include pertinent seminars, industry updates both at the state and federal levels, many networking opportunities, a marketplace, guest speakers and a chance to visit vendor booths and motor coaches on display. A record number of attendees joined us at last year’s event; plan to join us this year. Looking ahead to 2018, our location is set – we will be returning to the beautiful Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown October 21-23, 2018. So don’t just mark your calendar for one year – mark it for two! And of course, we’re always just a phone call or email away. It is important to us that we meet your needs. If, for any reason, you have a question or concern, please do not hesitate to contact the BANY office. We would be most happy to assistant you. It is with a great deal of pride that I look back over the last several years and reflect on where we were then and where we are now. We are an association recognized at the state and federal level as a leader at the forefront of issues, concerns and leadership. Our association members, board members and leaders are passionate, dedicated, active and strong in promoting both BANY and the motor coach industry. As I have stated many times, an association is only as strong as its membership. And we are strong! Thank you. As your president, I am proud and honored to represent all of you and your interests. Thank you again for this humbling opportunity. Please join me in thanking Executive Director Tammy St. Louis for her hard work and diligence in taking care of our association on a day-to-day basis. Welcome to the new directory.
