The Holiday Gathering and General Membership Meeting was a fun way to close out the year! We came together at the Travel Portland Visitor's Center and heard from Chief Marketing Officer, Greg Newland from Travel Portland about how some of the changes for the city and organization will impact short-term rental hosts. We also got a sneak peek into upcoming initiatives to promote Portland as a travel destination and some things we
can look forward to in 2025.

Next, it was time to take care of business. Host2Host Board President, Becky Burnett, led a brief discussion about proposed changes to organizational bylaws which included modifications to the Board of Directors leadership structure and committee types. Members present voted in favor of this proposal.

Then, it was time to officially nominate Lorell Miller to the Board of Directors for a two-year position beginning in January. She has been very involved in our organization and is a long-time member. We are excited about the local insights she can share and her perspectives as an experienced host and small business owner of midwifery care supply company Radiant Belly.

We loved catching up with everyone who could make it and hope
to see you again in January! Happy New Year!
