2 Page 2 IV. PRESENTATIONS Elizabeth Smith, Director of the C. Ted Lick Wildwood Conference Center, presented an update on the WWCC s activities during the current and past years, and its staff s goals for the future. The WWCC mission is to be a superior provider of meeting and seminar facilities, offering the highest level of quality, at a fair and competitive price to its clients. Since July of 1999, the WWCC has attracted approximately 95 to 100 new clients, including businesses, government groups, and associations, plus internal HACC clients. Ms. Smith noted that internal use of the facility has increased from nine percent to 17 percent. The largest competitors for services are the Harrisburg Mariott and Hilton hotels. Improved procedures during the past year have included curtailing late cancellations by internal groups, tracking of monthly revenues and cancellations, creation of a weekly booking report showing status year-to-date, and a lost business report indicating the reason potential clients cancelled or chose to go elsewhere, as well as the dollar value of the lost business. Goals for the current year include increased pursuit of sales leads based on industry periodicals, weekly reader boards at hotels, and referrals; telemarketing efforts; two sales blitzes targeting businesses and government agencies; and increased promotion of night and weekend business. In the coming year, management will focus on increasing the sales staff, stabilization of staffing, and the development of a shared-lead system with local hotels. V. OLD BUSINESS None VI.
