MEET CHAMBER AMBASSADOR COLIN TEXTER
In this month's Ambassador Spotlight, we get to know a little bit about Colin Texter. Colin is employed by Irish Boat Shop. He has been with them for almost three years as the Marketing and Sales Coordinator, but will be moving into a new role as a Service Writer in Charlevoix this month. Colin says that working for Irish Boat Shop is like "being in the business of fun". We get to form close relationships with our customers. It is a friendly and fun work environment".
Colin has just finished his first year as a Chamber Ambassador and said that he joined the committee to become more involved in the Charlevoix community and to help promote Charlevoix. He also said that he likes "being the youngest member on the committee and learning from the experience of the other Ambassadors".
When Colin is not working or volunteering his time with the Chamber Ambassadors he loves to sail, ski, run, hike, camp, explore, cook, make music, laugh, and enjoy a good beer.
