“Bringing our members together is always a highlight. These meetings create space for real conversations, stronger connections, and continued collaboration across our industry.”
Patricia Cowley, Executive Director of GNEMA
The Greater Northeast Motorcoach Association (GNEMA) brought together members, partners, and industry leaders for its 2026 Spring Meeting & Sponsor Appreciation Dinner, held April 13–14 at Resorts World Catskills.
The two-day event provided valuable opportunities for networking, collaboration, and industry engagement, reinforcing GNEMA’s commitment to supporting the motorcoach and travel community throughout the Northeast.
Activities began on April 13 with a Board of Directors meeting and a Sullivan Catskills familiarization (FAM) tour, offering attendees a firsthand look at regional tourism opportunities. The evening concluded with both the GNEMA’s Annual Sponsor Appreciation Dinner, hosted by the Board of Directors to recognize and thank the association’s sponsors for their continued support, and a Meet & Greet Networking event for those not participating in the Annual Sponsor Appreciation Dinner. The Networking event was a new addition to the Spring Meeting schedule, and it was so successful that we will keep it in the line-up next Spring.
On April 14, members participated in a full day of programming, including a Mini-Marketplace with 34 Allied Members, an Association Meeting & Luncheon including Keynote Andi Campbell, Motorcoach Professional Award ceremony, and dedicated networking time. The event provided a platform for meaningful conversations, new business connections, and the sharing of ideas that help move the industry forward.
“Bringing our members together is always a highlight,” said Patricia Cowley, Executive Director of GNEMA. “These meetings create space for real conversations, stronger connections, and continued collaboration across our industry.”
GNEMA continues to focus on advocacy, safety, education, and strengthening business opportunities for its members, and looks forward to building on this momentum throughout 2026.
