Although our tourism budget is quite small, we see the value of belonging to TIAK and feel that it is a good investment. The membership includes access to so many things – the annual conference, the KDS program, educational webinars, timely Legislative updates, knowledge of current trends, etc. However, I feel that the collaborative atmosphere and networking/idea sharing is what I value most about TIAK. I have learned much from mentors in TIAK and my community has certainly benefited from the relationships I have made in this organization.
