Your communications team offers many ways to access vital news and information By Lisa Leinberger
Over this past year, getting our members the latest in state regulations, closures and announcements has been so important to us as an association. If you don’t know the latest news, you can’t effectively and safely serve your guests. That’s why our mission is to get you reliable information as soon as possible through many different channels.
Social media
We know that over the past year, you have upped your social media game to keep your customers connected and we have, too. We’ve expanded our reach on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn and if we post to Twitter, your browser will send you an alert if you have selected “allow” while you’re visiting hub.wahospitality.org.
Email newsletters
Every Thursday, we send you our weekly newsletter, packed with the latest news stories, upcoming events and even articles you may have missed over the past couple of weeks. For our lodging members, we also have our monthly Lodging News. We know that things are happening at the local level that vary from place to place so we break news and information down to the county and city level. In Seattle, members get a weekly newsletter for all things local, and in Spokane, you can expect a newsletter when news breaks in Eastern Washington.
Special edition emails
We know that news can break in between our weekly newsletters, and when that happens, we get you the information you need within two hours of it breaking. Being your primary source of information is one of our pillars of operations and this is our commitment to you.
