INTD Updates Website!

For the past few weeks the INTD team has been busy updating the site with a few changes since we launched on May 5th. In addition to spreading the word to meeting planners, DMC's and hospitality suppliers so we can add more jobs to the board, we have been developing our Travel Director and Tour Guide Tools which are now accessible to our Platinum Members.

The first thing we added, based on feedback from our members, was an invoice and expense report template. Our goal is for INTD members to use these forms while they are on the road to make life easier and to begin streamlining the billing process between freelance contractors and their clients.

I spoke to Keith Johnston with On-Site Events last week who just launched Plannermix.com (a new global community for meeting and event professionals) and relayed our vision for INTD members to begin using our forms and templates. I was pleasantly surprised and excited for him to tell me if that if his freelance staff started using our forms, he would gladly accept and distribute! Wow!! This made my day and reinforced my belief that we are headed in the right direction but it will just take time to get things going.

If all our members started using these forms, just think how much easier life on the road will become for everyone! How nice would it be to complete one form for every program you work and have access to the template online 24 hours a day??

As a member of INTD we encourage you to think of International Network of Travel Directors as your professional association and a resource for career development and networking. When you are on-site and have a few minutes, visit INTDONLINE.COM and connect on the message board and access the TD or TG Tools. Visit the TD Blog and post your comments, get involved and submit an article for the newsletter.

Stay tuned as we continue to bring you more information and resources!
