The Chamber Tourism Task Force is a great opportunity to share with and learn from others in the tourism industry in Palm Beach County. We are all faced with similar challenges in this ever-evolving situation. It is great to have guidance from other area tourism industry peers, on the unforeseen pitfalls and ultimate successes they have experienced during this time.

Being able to speak to the Chamber’s Science & Technology committee was a fantastic opportunity. Not only did it allow me to connect to local business owners, but it gave me the opportunity to talk about my true area of expertise in a comfortable setting. Speaking about the things that fuel and drive us is the best way to connect to people and demonstrate value. For people with a true mission to promote thought and conversation, it’s so much better than trying to make a sales pitch.”
