New Clout for Minority Meetings

The International Association of Hispanic Meeting Professionals was just a gleam in the eye of Margaret Gonzalez back in 1996. That's when Gonzalez, along with about 17 other people who were attending a meeting in Miami Beach, came up with the idea of forming the association. Today IAHMP has more than 300 members and a mission not only to increase the number of Hispanics in the hospitality industry, but to demonstrate the growing economic impact of the Hispanic meetings and travel market.
