ISITE Foundation Announces 2008 Events & Founders Club Program

The International SITE Foundation has announced that their 2008 ISITE Classic will be held on 11-14 September in Ft. Lauderdale, FL with the Fort Lauderdale Grande Hotel & Yacht Club and Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six Resort & Spa as host hotels. Golf will be at the Bonaventure Resort & Country Club with other lifestyle activities throughout the area.

In December 2007, the inaugural ISITE Classic Lifestyle Event drew more than 200 incentive industry practitioners to Monterey, CA for an exceptional start to a great tradition. Golfers and adventurers alike praised the quality and variety of the program that drew buyers from all the major incentive houses in the US.

In Addition, ISITE Foundation has unveiled plans to hold a major fundraising social event in Chicago on 22 September 2008, the Monday night before the opening of The Motivation Show titled SITE Nite. This revives a tradition from the Society of Incentive & Travel Executives' early days when the Monday night before the show was always the occasion of a SITE member reunion.

The plans for SITE Nite call for a social affair that benefits the International SITE Foundation and brings together all industry practitioners, including SITE members, their guests, and other supporters of SITE. The program is being chaired by Jane Schuldt, president of World Marketing Group Ltd. and a past president of SITE.

ISITE President Jerry McGee said, "We are happy to have this opportunity to bring back the SITE tradition of launching The Motivation Show with an industry-wide gathering and we're pleased with the sponsorship support that has already been offered."

The ISITE Foundation also announced the formation of the ISITE Founders Club. A contribution of $ 500.00 USD earns the satisfaction of supporting the education and research efforts of the International SITE Foundation. It also gets you (or your company) listed on the ISITE website and, at a drawing to be held on 31 March 2008, you may win…

Five nights for two at the Hacienda del Mar, Cabo San Lucas, MX (Space available; expires 1 December 2008)
