“I plan functions that are intended to foster a sense of community among Pennsylvania CPAs. Some are family-oriented. We recently held our second Overnight Stay at Kalahari Resorts and Conventions in the Pocono Mountains, and our Day at Dorney Park is a perennial favorite. Others are for a younger crowd. Our Successful Candidates Celebration, which recognizes PICPA members who have passed the CPA Exam, has a casino/nightclub vibe.”
Kelli Comegys, CMP, senior chapter administrator, Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA)
City Film Festival – along with festivals for everything under the sun (Springfest, Sunfest, Winefest, Bikefest and Beerfest, to name just a few). With all of the events on Ocean City’s calendar, the destination is enticing for people of every age.
Waters added that groups on a budget can opt for efficiencies, which there are an abundance of in Ocean City. Attendees can enjoy breakfast or lunch in the hotel. They also seek close prox- imity to the convention center, and stay- ing at the Hilton is a prime location because it is only three-tenths of a mile away. Many of the Harrison Group’s properties are located adjacent to the boardwalk.
The Harrison Group uses several medi- ums to attract SMERF groups, including mailings, social media and old-fash- ioned sales calls. Due to the fact that they represent three franchise types, the sales team is able to respond to numer- ous leads generated by their cross mar- keting.
Another family-friendly beachfront
resort that is quite popular among asso- ciations, SMERF, and sports-related groups is the Wildwoods, NJ.
Serving as the ultimate picture-perfect postcard for vacationers and groups hosting meetings, the Wildwoods fea- tures the sparkling water of the Atlantic Ocean coupled with a white, sandy beach that is a breath of fresh air to attendees. A variety of restaurants, activ- ities - both on the water and on land - and a choice of hotels combine to make this resort an ideal choice for a variety of functions.
