For 66 years, THLA’s Short Course has offered the most outstanding all-in-one hospitality training available in Texas and beyond. During your service as a board member, you have certainly learned of the reputation and benefits of the Short Course for lodging operators throughout Texas. The International Society of Hotel Association Executives recognized THLA’s Short Course as the “Best Educational Program” in the nation.

The Short Course will once again be held at the newly renovated Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel & Restaurant Management on the campus of the University of Houston scheduled for January 10-14, 2011 for Short Course and January 13-14, 2011 for Advanced Short Course.  Course registration will remain at the same historically low price of just $275 for the week-long course or $195 for the two-day Advanced Course if you register your attendees by December 20, but HATC Member Hotel employees who are nominated, will be included in a drawing for a chance to win spots in the course!

Short Course 2012 can be the best investment you make next year for your most promising employees. I encourage each board member to participate in this incredible program by sending at least one of your employees to next year’s event. Employees who attend Short Course return to their hotels reenergized and excited about their careers and their ability to succeed in our industry. Jump-start your Super Stars’ enthusiasm for working in this great industry. Register your superstars for Annual Short Course using the links below.
