What about Women In Management?
Gold Coast
Founder Marisa Millane reported that the Gold Coast luncheon was held at Mr Hizola in Burleigh, where Asian fusion was the menu.
It was fantastic to see the Gold Coast so busy again with tourists everywhere. There were some positive stories shared about accommodation booming and busy managers. The Sunshine Coast luncheon was held in Mooloolaba at Psari Seafood Restaurant. This event was hosted by Resly and it was a wonderful turnout and great to see so many managers, we even had a few men attend. Overall, it was a wonderful day of connecting and having a lot of fun.

Coming up: The 80 Twenty Hotel Conferences
These conferences are a fantastic forum for senior hotel management, owners, operators and anyone wanting to expand their knowledge and network while the sector prepares for more new openings, staffing issues, high demand and expectations from the domestic market. The events provide attendees the opportunity to gain valuable insight from accommodation experts and industry leaders discussing problems and solutions from Market Performance, Operations, New Developments, Staffing, Sales, Marketing & Revenue to F&B, Health & Wellbeing and Sustainability. The 80 Twenty Hotel Conference will be held in the Gold Coast at The Dorsett on Tuesday June 14 and moves to Brisbane at Emporium on Thursday June 16.

Although at one stage it looked like everyone would need to use canoes rather than buggies to get around the course, we managed to put the Twin Waters golf day in the books.
Albeit a bit damp, the golf course was surprisingly playable and 80 intrepid golfers braved a bit of rain but generally blue skies. Missing Sue O’Farrell after a nasty incident with a staircase (our beloved leader claiming innocence) we set off. As carts were on paths it made for a long afternoon, especially if you got on the wrong side of the path and the cart stopped! This meant many had to finish in the dark, then it was in for a very tasty meal and prizes. The day was a 4 ball best ball comp and first place with an excellent score, considering the conditions, of 48 went to Michael Mercalfe and Cherry Sutherland.
You could throw a handkerchief over the next 3 places, all scoring 44, so on a count back 2nd was Mark McIntyre and Andrew Taylor, 3rd to Tracey Taylor and Eddie Bartells and 4th to Greg Shepard and Anthony Barnett. These days are not possible without our magnificent sponsors. • Mahoneys • Rochelle Painting • Watt Utilities

We celebrated 30 years of ARAMA
On May 20, more than 250 guests from across the management rights industry gathered in the Gold Coast at The Island hotel, Surfers Paradise to celebrate ARAMA’s 30th birthday.
It was a memorable night, and everyone was excited to catch up with so many familiar faces. Thank you to Trevor Rawnsley and his team for organising this 30th birthday dinner which was not just a celebration of ARAMA but also of our much-loved industry. It gave us the opportunity meet up face to face with colleagues and friends for a happy occasion after a troubling few years and it was also an opportunity to honour some of those who have worked so hard for the sector for many years.
