a. Gib introduced an idea for a TBID notification network. In the past if a hotel encountered a guest that
caused problems (counterfeit bills, didn't pay, vandalism, etc.) the hotels would fax a notification around
to each other as a warning. He suggested the TBID hotels initiate an email notification network. Those
interested signed up.

scheduled projects in 2012. A copy of the presentation is available on the TBID website at
