TTIA's Director of Communications Off on New Adventures
|
Please join the TTIA staff in wishing
Janice Langlinais all the best as she has resigned from her position as TTIA's Director of Communications to relocate to California to embark upon new opportunities. Janice's last day with us will be September 15, 2016. Janice has made significant contributions to TTIA during her almost six year tenure with us and we will most definitely miss her strong work ethic and sincere dedication to all things TTIA and the Texas travel industry. We appreciate everything Janice has done for TTIA and we will miss her greatly.
For the next couple of months, Brenda Kissko will be helping us out with our communications efforts. We are excited to have her working with us through our Texas Travel Summit conference. Brenda will continue to use Janice's email address, janicel@ttia.org, in the interim.
