Managing for Front Office Operations

The Massachusetts Lodging Association Educational Institute is running their course, Managing Front Office Operations, at the Bayside Resort Hotel in West Yarmouth in cooperation with the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. It starts October 24th from 7 - 9, for 15 sessions. The description is as follows: "Your staff can increase front office efficiency and help sales grow with the knowledge gained from this course. Includes yield management techniques and the latest computer technology. This course shows how front office activities and functions affect other departments and stresses how to manage the front office to ensure your property's goals are met." The instructor is Marcia Mihalovich, General Manager, Breakers Motel. Lodging supervisors in our Chamber survey identified this type of training as important, and we're pleased that the Association has agreed to offer the course locally-thanks to Rod Sroczenski, at the Bayside!

The game appeals to people of all walks of life, but is particularly appealing to those people who are deemed to have the most discretionary income in our society.
