Benefits of TABA Membership
In the October Board of Directors Meeting, there was much discussion on planning for 2008. President elect Derrick Hunt has made Membership and Education among his top priorities.
That said, Derrick wants to bring to light the more tangible benefits of being a TABA member. "The intangible benefits are immense but nobody notices those... Everyone wants to know what they get for being a member," said Derrick at the 2007 Annual Awards Banquet.
Indeed, there are numerous 'benefits,' many of which are listed in an accompanying article. The newest and most obvious benefit is going to be the fantastic meeting facility that has just been completed.
Meeting space in Temple is sparce and really nice meeting space is even harder to come by. For this reason, we have decided to make our new conference room available for rental by members and non-members.
The member benefit would be a deeply discounted rental rate. We now have an excellent facility that is big enough to hold 50 person meeting.
Practical uses could include educational seminars, board meetings or even company partys. This facility has it all. Audio visual equipment, restrooms, a full service catering kitchen and plenty of space and furniture!
The facility will only be available for rent Monday thru Friday from 8am until 5pm. A deposit and some fees will be required with room rental. A rate schedule is being developed and will be posted by the beginning of the year.
If you are a member of an organization that seeks meeting space, please let them know that TABA is open for business. Anyone may call the office for more information at 254-773-0445.
