ASAE, MPI Meet With Labor Department
ASAE President and CEO John H. Graham IV, CAE, and Meeting Professionals International (MPI) President and CEO Colin Rorrie Jr., CAE, Ph.D., met with Labor Department officials to discuss ways to elevate the meetings profession in the minds of America’s workforce.
Graham and Rorrie strongly believe in meetings and conventions as an important, economically vital career field. Labor Department officials expressed interest in continuing a dialogue on this issue, adding that the hospitality industry, with its close ties to meetings and conventions, is one of 12 sectors identified as part of the administration’s “High Growth Job Training Initiative.” This initiative was launched on Labor Day 2003 to prepare workers to take advantage of new and increasing job opportunities in high growth, high demand sectors of the U.S. economy.
Following their meeting at the Labor Department, Graham and Rorrie held a productive dialogue with the recently-named president and CEO of the Travel Industry Association of America (TIA), Roger Dow, during which all parties agreed on the need for future collaboration and knowledge sharing to ensure a healthy, viable U.S. travel industry.
