The scale of human suffering that has resulted from the cyclone in Myanmar and the earthquake in China highlights the critical role that charitable relief organizations play in aiding those affected by disaster. I encourage you to consider supporting organizations such as the American Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and World Vision during this time of great need.

The July issues of Association News and SportsTravel will include a special section produced in conjunction with the Destination Marketing Association International titled “Why DMOs Matter: Helping Local Communities and Meeting Planners Understand the Vital Role of Convention Bureaus and Destination Marketing Organizations.”

Convention bureaus that advertise in this special section will receive a discount of 40 percent off our regular rates and bureaus that are not currently members of DMAI will receive a complimentary one-year membership. The deadline is June 2, 2008, so e-mail me today for more information.
