NCA Monthly
The shortest month went by quickly at NCA! President & CEO Joe Trauger joined Vice President of Membership & Sales Katina Cavagnaro and Vice President of Communications Kim Fernandez at the 2025 CMAA World Conference & Business Expo in Tampa, Fla. They enjoyed spending time with NCA members at the annual members’ lunch, where Trauger gave an update on the industry and the association, and catching up with club professionals on the Expo floor. Trauger presented on government relations at the Washington D.C. chapter meeting of the Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals at Manor Country Club later in the month. Several events with Congresspeople followed:
- Dinner with House Education and Workforce Chairman Tim Walberg (R-Mich.).
- Meeting with Congressman Rick Allen (R-Ga.).
- Dinner with House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) and David Schweikert (R-Ariz.).
- Breakfast with House Education and Workforce Subcommittee Chair Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) and Chairman Tim Walberg.
