BABTA President’s Message December 2018 Dear BABTA Members, Thanks to all who made BABTA’s 2018 Gala such a great success! We had a full house at the top of the Westin Saint Francis Hotel tower. Special thanks to the BABTA Board and, especially, the BABTA Gala Committee led by Amanda Chorro-Predes. Other committee members were Pam Schramm, Judy Emma, Gary Murakami, and Chris Wang. Other important thanks goes to the Westin Saint Francis, BCD Travel (title sponsor), PSAV, and Uber. And, we had numerous donors and table sponsors who certainly made the event a wonderful evening - American Express Global Business Travel, Joie de Vivre, Where To, BCD Travel and Holiday Inn Civic Center San Francisco. Thank you all. Our two charities this year were the Bay Area Women’s and Children’s Center and the North Valley Community Fire Fund. They will both receive a portion of the money raised at this year’s Gala. Finally, Happy Holidays to all of our members and travel associates around the San Francisco Bay Area. We wish a best during this wonderful season and a Happy New Year! Best regards,
