It's my last letter as OTTA's President and I want to thank our amazing board and all our members for their support in the past two years, but particularly in the last 7 months. It's been a trying time for all of us, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I've watched how resilient and adaptive Oregon's tourism industry has been and I know we'll come back stronger than ever!

We are working with our partners to rebuild Oregon's tourism industry and prepare members for a post-COVID recovery. We are creating promotions to maintain visibility among Tour Operators and packaged travel buyers who will be offering Oregon product in the near future. You can support these efforts with your OTTA membership.
We're also excited to announce that members will receive complimentary admission to our next two virtual meetings featuring amazing keynote speakers like world renowned travel guide writer and TV series host, Rick Steves, who will join our February 25th meeting as our keynote speaker. Registration for this event will open in January - keep an eye on your email and our website for the latest updates.
Thanks again for all your support of OTTA and our industry. Please join me in welcoming your next OTTA President, Tammy Thompson, and your next OTTA Vice President, Kristen Dollarhide!
Cheers,
Mandy Morgan
OTTA President

Bet you didn't know that Jennifer loves alternative music, is not a fan of country at all, but most are surprised that she aIso loves hip hop music (older). Jennifer has been part of OTTA since before it was OTTA, when it was OTTTF - 18 years. TC Caldwell was the person who encouraged her to get involved. TC was with the Newport Chamber at that time.
