Charleston Millennials in Travel event at Hotel Emeline, December 2021

Dear ,

The holiday season (and peak travel season) is among us! Whether you are busy booking trips for your clients (or yourself), finishing up end of the year projects, or preparing to gather and celebrate with loved ones, we wish you endless health and happiness this time of year!

While it's been another challenging year, our industry is finally returning to the days that provided inspriation in helping others explore and transform through travel. As an organization, we focused on strenghtening our programs which included filling numerous industry positions, succesfully operating 8 FAMs in destinations such as Nashville and St. Martin, hosting 3 virtual events, and organizing 8 in-person events across 6 cities.

Through these times, we've recognized the value we can provide and as a generation it will be up to us, millennials, to continuing pushing forward and find new ways to connect with one another.  Next year, we'll be busy with FAMs operating nearly every month, some new chapters launching, along with other initiatives to help the industry and hope that you'll be a part of this journey!

For $25 per year, you'll have access to two events, plus many more community benefits. Read here for details on the membership program!
