SITE Southeast - Strategy Wheels

Incentive Travel. Business Results.

Business leaders are constantly seeking creative ways to unlock human potential. One of the most powerful tools at their disposal is the motivational experience — including travel and events — which rewards a job well done and offers ways to grow and be more effective. Only one organization sits at the critical intersection between those who seek the benefits of these motivational tools, and those who can provide these extraordinary experiences. That organization is called SITE.

SITE makes possible the connection between motivational experiences and business results. It is the only global organization dedicated to linking professionals in the travel and motivational events industry with the business leaders who seek improved performance through these experiences. SITE has been defining this industry since the organization was formed four decades ago, as the Society of Incentive Travel Executives.

SITE Southeast Objectives

  • Help build better incentive business practices for our members and our members’ organizations through the education and networking opportunities that SITE affords us.
  • Provide access to education and networking opportunities for incentive professionals in our region.
  • Promote the value of performance improvement strategies, and incentive travel as an effective means of performance enhancement.
  • Provide a forum throughout our region for the exchange of ideas and information.

Uniquely Different in 2024

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as your 2024 SITE Southeast President. I am thrilled to share my vision and aspirations for 2024, and I am particularly excited to do so under the guiding theme: Uniquely Different.

Why Uniquely Different, you may ask? It’s a theme that resonates deeply with the essence of who we are as SITE Southeast. Our industry is a vibrant tapestry of talents, ideas, and perspectives, each person contributing a unique brushstroke to the canvas of event planning. Just as every artist has their own style, every event professional in our organization brings something special to the table.

Our diversity is not only evident in the individuals that make up our organization, but also in the myriad ways we approach the art of event planning. From the bustling streets of Atlanta to the serene landscapes of Kentucky, from the lively culture of Louisiana to the historic charm of North Carolina, our chapter spans across eight distinct states – Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Kentucky.

Each of these states is a treasure trove of uniqueness, offering its own set of challenges and opportunities. But it is precisely this diversity that fuels our creativity, pushing us to think beyond the ordinary and strive for the extraordinary. As event professionals, we are not content with the cookie-cutter. We aim to shatter expectations, ditch the conventional, and craft experiences that are cutting edge, memorable, and, above all, uniquely different.

In 2024, my goal as your SITE Southeast President is to celebrate and harness this diversity, turning it into a powerful force for innovation and excellence. I envision a year where we embrace the differences that make us stronger, where we learn from one another’s unique approaches, and where we elevate the standard for event planning in each of our eight states.

Together, we will explore uncharted territories, push the boundaries of creativity, and set new benchmarks for the events industry. Our events will not merely be gatherings; they will be immersive experiences that reflect the richness of our region and the ingenuity of our members.

I, along with your incredibly talented Board of Directors, am excited to collaborate with each and every one of you, to learn from your unique perspectives, and to work together in making 2024 a year that defines SITE Southeast as a trailblazer in the world of event planning.

So, here’s to a year of innovation, collaboration, and embracing the Uniquely Different. Let’s make 2024 a chapter in our history that we will fondly remember as a time when SITE Southeast set the standard for excellence in the events industry.

Thank you, and let’s make it a year to remember!
