Message From The President

Hello TPOC Members,

Can you believe spring has sprung? I hope you are still on track obtaining your 2023 goals. I am pleased that the association is off to a great start accomplishing one of our goals, to continue increasing membership 25% over last year. We have had several new members to join since January.

The conference is just a few short months away. Again, thanks to all of you for your extraordinary response to our 2023 Greek Isles Cruise Conference. We have exceeded our original cabin allotment and so pleased that almost two hundred members and family will be joining us.

March 1st marks the beginning of Women’s History Month. It is the month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. I read an article in the Huffington Post written by Akilah Monifa, entitled “10 Things I Learned about Zora Neale Hurston”. One of the things pointed out was she grew up in Eatonville, an all-black town located in Orange County Florida. Some of us on the board had an opportunity to visit Eatonville and the Zora Neale Hurston Museum a few years ago. If you get the chance, take time out to read the article, as well as Zora’s book entitled “Every Tongue Got to Confess.” Maybe you’ll feel adventurous and take a road trip to the museum. You will be amazed at this extraordinary woman.

Membership Renewal – Thanks to all of you who sent your renewal registration in a timely fashion. For those of you who did not get your individual membership fee in by March 1st, you will be assessed a $30.00 late fee . You can renew your membership by mail or online. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call the home office at 720-350-6231 or 1-866-901-1259.

Last but not least! We are constantly making updates to the website. Please make it a practice to visit us at www.tpocassociation.com We hope you will like and follow us on our Facebook page.

If you have changed your email address within the last 30 days, please email your current information to Stacey Lucas at [email protected]. Also, if you have an assistant or co-owner in your agency who is a member of TPOC, we’re requesting that each of you have an individual email address.

If you have any travel related news you would like to share on our website, please contact Stacey Lucas or for our Facebook page, contact Beverly Bentley at [email protected].

Also remember to join us every third Thursday for our virtual membership meetings. January and February meetings were quite informative.

Mind Message: Sometimes growth requires new company, new locations and new mindsets.
