Thank You GovTravels Participants

Thank You GovTravels Participants

Many thanks to all who attended GovTravels 2021. While we were virtual, we hope you were still able to reconnect and learn from this year’s lineup of keynote speakers, panels, and Transportation Academy classes. Special recognition goes to the DTMO team, under the leadership auspices of Mr. Bill Mansell, and the GSA team under Mr. Tim Burke. Likewise, to all of our sponsors and exhibitors, we appreciate your trust during the pandemic to move forward the efforts of the NDTA Government Passenger Travel Advisory Council (GPTAC). Thank you to Mr. Bryan Scott and all the GPTAC Committees for staying engaged during COVID-19 in order to keep both government and industry informed as to the timing and lasting changes we can expect as a result of societal changes during the recovery.

I believe all in attendance at GovTravels were inspired by the dedication and loyalty of the travel professional enterprise as challenges have been faced with finding a way ahead during difficult times. In this issue of The Source, as well as future issues of The Source and DTJ, we will bring you many of the highlights from GovTravels 2021.

We look forward to seeing everyone again at next year’s GovTravels to be hosted in-person February 28-March 3, 2022, at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia!

Warm regards,
VADM William A. “Andy” Brown, SC, USN (Ret.), President & CEO, NDTA
