President's Letter 2010
Dear Members,
2010 is going fast and we at San Francisco Travel Professionals are looking forward to a very good year!
We hope to be able to follow the wonderful work done by Naydine Booth, our former President and creator of SFTP, offspring from San Francisco Women in Travel.
Thank you Naydine!!!
It is with much enthusiasm that I follow Naydine as President, all the more so because my mother, Edith Dalle-Feste was a president of San Francisco Women in Travel in 1959!
How many changes has our travel industry seen since!
We have new board members whom we welcome and thank:
Marta Ernst, Toni Escamilla and Linda Smith. Our never-tiring and talented Christine Eichin is our new treasurer.
As we move into more and more cyber communication modes, we are planning new and exciting additions to our website so it becomes a tool for information, reach out and connection between our members. This is our priority this year and we do need all our members’ help with ideas and contributions.
I hope to see you at our next meeting and all together continue to share and benefit from our many talented members.
Thank you to the board who has given me the privilege to serve as President and to all of you for joining and renewing your membership.
Rea C. Franjetic
President

Following the budget, Ty Shanahan proceeded with the ballot count for the new Board of Directors.
The 2010 Board of Directors is as follows:
After a great meal and the finishing of all Business matters the meeting was adjourned. We look forward to seeing everyone at our next regular meeting in February.
