**FY'09 Membership Application.pdf** Membership Testimonials
"We are proud to be a member of the Eastern Iowa Tourism Association. Your organization is a tremendous tool for organizations like ourselves who are trying to expand tourism on our site and in our community." Patricia Forsythe & Kathy Frederick, Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association
"My membership in EITA has been a wonderful opportunity for me to not only meet and network with professionals in the tourism industry, but also to gain exposure for and promote our new hotel to individuals and groups throughout Iowa and the Midwest. Because of EITA I am connected to people and resources that directly influence my business efforts as well as the tourism effort across the state." Audria Butler, Wingate Inn
“The Eastern Iowa Tourism Association has been a great way to learn about tourism, learn about trends, and meet new industry contacts. Without the assistance of the grant funds that EITA offers, I would not be able to produce our quality brochures. The attendance at the conferences enables me to grow in the field of tourism.” Cheryl Duke, Bentonsport Historic District
“Meeting new people is always fun—it gets your name and business out to other industry members. A day out of the office for $20 is well worth the interesting places we get to see and have an awesome lunch!” Danelle Penning, Wingate Inn “Being members of EITA is a necessity for our organization. Because of our limited resources, EITA provides information about our attractions to a broad audience. The listing in the Visitor’s Guide, the grant opportunities, and the informative speakers are all reasons to continue our membership with EITA.” Judy Weber Dyersville Historical Society “I joined Eastern Iowa Tourism to get to know people and contacts in the Iowa Tourism Industry. From EITA, I have learned much about the region and state. The friends I have made along the way are invaluable!” Julie Allesee Clinton Convention & Visitor's Bureau “I have found my “EITA family” to be valuable partners as I create fun and interesting itineraries. My group tour business has grown tremendously as a result. Thank you EITA!” Debi Ervin Lodge Hotel and Conference Center "The UNI Museum’s EITA membership has increased our exposure in the tourism industry, created relationships with other member sites, and provided staff development at the membership meetings. And, the grant programs offer an opportunity to extend my modest budget for promotion and advertising in the tourism area." Kay Thuesen University Museum
"EITA has returned my investment of time and financial resources many times over with technical advice, educational programming, networking opportunities, and cooperative advertising. I fully support our system of Regions because it makes these services available to even the smallest of communities and attractions which, after all, makes Iowa a unique visitor destination." Kim Burger City of Cedar Falls Tourism & Visitors Bureau
"Being a member of the Eastern Iowa Tourism Association has given us a wide exposure to markets that we could not afford. The resources that we have available to us such as group tour leads and referrals to our community are invaluable." Julie Kronlage Dyersville Area Chamber of Commerce
"Eastern Iowa Tourism creates many opportunities for organizations like the Hoover Complex. We appreciate the opportunity to learn from others through the great speakers you have at your meetings as well as the chance to network with E.I.T.A. members from throughout Eastern Iowa." Patricia Forsythe & Kathy Frederick Herbert Hoover Presidential Library Association
