The National Association of Commissioned Travel Agents has created a series of new chapter events called "NACTA Nights." Designed to motivate, inspire and educate home-based travel professionals, NACTA Nights will deliver a supplier presentation, guest motivational speakers and networking among home-based travel agents in their own communities. Each NACTA Night will run from 5 to 7 p.m. and include a wine-and-cheese reception. "Our goal is to bring our members and all other home-based travel professionals new and exciting events across the country," said Joanie Ogg, NACTA President." These events will also be part of the development of new local NACTA chapters," said Alleigh Grieder, director of sales and marketing for NACTA.
