Scope of the Travel Manager, What Suppliers Need to Know!

The world of the travel manager is always hectic, to say the least. Some managers are fortunate enough to have a team to accomplish the many tasks every day. Some do this massive job alone. Either way, a well managed end to end travel program must incorporate all the same essential elements, whether the program is national in scope and a few million dollars or many millions and global. Suppliers sometimes wonder why it's so difficult to get a foot in the door. Or, why the contract hasn't been signed yet. Or, more importantly, why the program is isn't performing as expected.

In this session, suppliers will gain a better understanding of what an end to end managed travel program looks like, the tasks that a travel manager juggles to support travelers and senior managers, the technology intergrations that are essential for smooth end to end flow of data, and exactly the part a supplier plays in the overall travel program.

Cindy Shumate, session presenter, former GBTA board member, and an experienced travel manager, will share insights form her 19 year career as she built and managed four significant travel programs, dfferent products, different travel enviornments - but essentially similar programs in structure and function.

Also, as part of the Chapter's Philanthropic efforts, we are working with Dress for Success of Northern New Jersey whose mission it is to empower women to achieve economic independance by providing a network of support, professional attire, and development tools to help them thrive in work and in life.

How can you help? Bring your nearly new or gently used business attire to the meeting and we will do the rest! A full list of the most requested clothing items is attached.
