SITE Texas Vision

Inspire. Engage. Ignite.

Dear SITE Texas Chapter Members —

Year in Review

As we reflect on 2022, our board is inspired by what we have been able to achieve as a community and
what lies ahead in 2023. We began the year cautiously optimistic with variants looming, supply chain
challenges, and a slow-to-recover industry labor force, and yet, through those challenges, we saw a
beacon of light and an unprecedented event demand compression which pushed us all to our personal
and professional limits.

According to surveys and industry experts, 2022 surpassed forecasted targets while many companies
achieved record-breaking sales. Although the numbers were positive, the stress of returning to an
industry shuttered for two years was challenging, to say the least, however, we are a resilient
community that always rebounds!

SITE Texas continued to forge ahead with a commitment to live events and to our members. Our
community rallied around each other including engaging in several events throughout the State of Texas
and beyond including the Technology Summit hosted by Melia Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
Our Board of Directors was busy with targeted initiatives involving our Young Leaders, Corporate Direct
buyers, value-added educational content with our live events, and renowned podcasts hosted by Wayne
Wallgren.

This year we also continued our winning legacy by receiving two additional Excellence awards in Ireland
during the SITE Global conference including recognition of the Boots on the Ground Virtual event which
won in the Best Special Event category and Excellence in Virtual Engagement, which is led by SITE Texas
VP of Marketing, Michelle Crosby, with Brightspot Incentives & Events and Director of Social Media,
Tracy Torrez, with The Hotel Emma.

As we end the year on a high note, we wanted to share that SITE Texas has submitted three additional
SITE Global awards and the winners will be announced during the 50 th SITE Annual Conference in
February, in New York City. The categories submitted were in Best in Education, Young Leaders, and
Chapter of the Year. We hope that you will join us as we look forward to celebrating another award-
winning year together!

Happy Holidays & Thank you!
