Member of the Month
Kristen Alford, Director of Corporate Sales
Daytona Tortugas
How long have you been a Chamber member and why did you join?
I have been active in the Chamber for a little over 1 year. When I moved to Daytona Beach for work, I knew the best way to learn the area and meet people would be through the Chamber. Businesses want to do business with people they trust, and those trustworthy relationships start at the Chamber.
Business Description:
The
Daytona Tortugas are the Class A Advanced Affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. We host 70 games each summer, providing some of the most affordable, family entertainment in Daytona Beach. While we love to host families, we also offer a unique, unforgettable night out for businesses and organizations to entertain their members, clients and staff. Our games are played at the
historic Jackie Robinson Ballpark located in the heart of downtown Daytona Beach!
Our staff has a lot of NEW, exciting programs and events planned for the 2017 season that you are not going to want to miss. We look forward to seeing you at The Jack for Opening Night on April 13th!
Favorite Thing About Being a Chamber Member:
I am grateful for the friendships that I have formed through the Chamber. Moving to a new place, not knowing a soul can present its challenges, but the Chamber has welcomed me with open arms and allowed me to establish myself in this community. I look forward to continuing to grow in the community and to build more relationships with other community members.
