Yes. HSMAI started offering an Organizational Membership two years ago. This was designed for companies (hotel brands, ownership groups, hotel management companies and partner companies) who have ten or more associates in the corporate office who wish to engage in HSMAI at programs curated for corporate professionals. Member dues vary with the number of participants.

Members who change positions within the industry carry their memberships with them for the remainder of that dues year. The former employer may replace the member with another eligible individual for the remainder of the dues year at no additional cost. This does not apply to the MPI/HSMAI Dual membership which stays with the original member.

 

No. There are, however, additional participation fees should you decide to attend any chapter meetings and events, educational seminars, trade shows, or other local, national, or international events.
