The New NYSTIA Website is Here!
Welcome to our new and improved website!
The new site features a unique tourism resources and insights section, an updated events schedule, a modernized and responsive home page, and more! It represents a major investment in time and resources to better prepare NYSTIA to serve our members in the future. Be sure to check out the detailed introduction from Rachele Markle who spearheaded the project for NYSTIA, and Bren Jobe, who led the Corporate Communications team in developing the site with us.
We welcome you to explore all areas of the new website and share your feedback with Rachele at rachele@nystia.org. With every new launch there are bound to be some bumps in the road, so if you find anything needing our attention, please let her know. Visit the New Website
