MAKING THE MOST FROM EVERY OPPORTUNITY<br />
THIS YEAR, WE ARE PLEASED TO<br />
OFFER SEVERAL NEW LEARNING<br />
EXPERIENCES NOT JUST IN THE<br />
SE CORNER BUT TO MEMBERS<br />
ACROSS THE STATE UNDER THE<br />
<strong>QHA</strong> BANNER.<br />
As we tear into the year, the <strong>QHA</strong> are looking once more at how we can “do<br />
more” for our members.<br />
Most of you will know that your Association delivers up to date advice to<br />
members on licensing, gaming and employment relations matters. These<br />
are the cornerstones of the benefits we provide, however these are not the<br />
only opportunities that are available.<br />
This year, we are pleased to offer several new learning experiences not just<br />
in the SE corner but to members across the state under the <strong>QHA</strong> banner.<br />
On 26 <strong>February</strong>, along with some of our long-term industry partners, the<br />
<strong>QHA</strong> is pleased to host the Hotel Symposium at the Queens Arms Hotel<br />
in New Farm. We have invited the Queensland Attorney-General to meet<br />
with members and are looking forward to having another robust discussion<br />
about the future of the industry.<br />
Expanding our services to members across the state this year, we are<br />
delivering another new event in Townsville. Along with the support of CUB,<br />
the “Pubs, Pots and Profits” seminar will be held be held on 20 March. A<br />
second “PPP” event is scheduled for Bundaberg later in the year. Of course<br />
this adds to the regular Licensee meetings, Accommodation Hotel Updates<br />
and Training that runs throughout the state and online!<br />
The <strong>QHA</strong> are committed to continually evolve and answer our members’<br />
challenges. So please pick up the phone, get involved, check out the<br />
website, but most importantly, talk to us. Someone across your Association<br />
will have experience, and be only too happy to help.<br />
