Volunteer

The Travel and Tourism Research Association excels due to the strong army of volunteers that drive our strategic plan forward, from our Executive and Board of Directors, to our planning committees for the International Conference and the Marketing Outlook Forum, to our strategic workgroups focused on marketing, membership, certification, among others.

There are opportunities for everyone from students to industry veterans at both the regional and international level – it doesn’t have to be a big time commitment, please give what you can – be it a one-off task, participating in a once a month workgroup virtual meeting, or taking on an active committee role. If you are a member of TTRA and are interested in helping out (or helping out more), please contact Kathy Palmer today.

Below is a listing of our current Committees and their Chairs. Please feel free to connect directly with the Chair of a Committee if you have a suggestion or concern.
