This was the third largest convention in NBTA history and the DFW BTA chapter was pleased to represent travel buyers and suppliers from our region in San Diego. DFW BTA also made partner with the NBTA Political Action Committee (PAC) as a result of meeting the chapter's goals for contributions this year. NBTA PAC is is NBTA’s political action committee that raises money to support political candidates for federal office who know and understand – and support – the issues of business travelers. And, to top off our highly successful exposure at NBTA, DFW BTA was recognized by Business Travel Executive (BTE) magazine for planning and executing "Memorable Meetings". Our chapter received first place in the "Membership Growth" category and third place in both "Fundraising" and "Educating". So, thanks to all DFW BTA members for your hard work and support that produced very positive results this year for our chapter and for the community.          Founded in 1970’s, Dallas/Ft.
