At ASTA’s Advocacy Dinner in New York on Saturday, vice president of government affairs Eben Peck presented the award to chapter president Jorge Sanchez, CTC, of Mena Tours & Travel in Chicago. Peck said the chapter had gone “above and beyond” in its fundraising, grassroots lobbying and new-member recruitment. By the end of August, ASTA’s Midwest Chapter had raised more than $30,000 for ASTA’s political action committee.
