The CVB team of Courtney Dyer, Nancy Helman, Brande Rumpf and Teresa Diaz recently hosted a class of ten STEM students interested in learning more about tourism and sports/entertainment marketing. Earlier this year, the class sponsor contacted MarComm to gauge interest in putting a program together for a class field trip in May. Taking advantage of the opportunity to highlight several of our business areas and promote tourism as a lucrative career industry, the CVB team also provided a behind-the-scenes tour of the CC and an in-depth look at VB sports marketing, highlighting how the Sports Center project became to be a reality. The all-female class was very attentive and engaging, sharing their surprise at how many industries tourism actually touches. Their teacher sent us a nice letter of appreciation and said that to her delight, the girls shared their “aha!” moments on the trip back to Chesapeake. Great job, everyone!
