President's Message
I hope you are having a great summer. Typically our industry slows down in summer, as most all vacations have been booked and your clients are now on their vacations.

WHAT IS NEW WITH OSSN?

By Gary M. Fee, OSSN President

I hope you are having a great summer. Typically our industry slows down in summer, as most all vacations have been booked and your clients are now on their vacations. Now is the time for travel agents, too, to take time off and enjoy the summer with friends and family or go to that favorite destination you have always dreamed about.

At OSSN it is time for us to re-group and take care of those tedious tasks of computer upgrades and finalize work projects that have been hanging on the edge of our desks for the last few months.

OSSN Host Agency Members and Allied Supplier Members will be happy to know there will be a new listing format for their company offers and services. Currently OSSN lists our Host Agency Members in a section of the OSSN website located on page:
http://www.ossn.com/secure/resources/retail.asp and for our Supplier Members on page: http://www.ossn.com/secure/resources/suppliers/index.asp

Currently both Host Agency Members and Allied Supplier Members must E-mail OSSN their company listing and OSSN posts that information into the OSSN site. While this system has worked very well in the past, it did not allow a Host Agency or a Supplier to modify their listings.
