Welcome to the September 2010 issue of the Northern Forest Tourism Network E-Newsletter!  We skipped an issue over the summer, as all involved were busy with the work of welcoming visitors to our region.  The spectacular weather of the summer yielded some pretty outstanding busy-ness.  We hope it was a productive and enjoyable season for all.

In this edition, we bid farewell to a member of our Steering Committee, Shaunacy Cobb.  Thank you, Shaunacy, for your great work in getting this initiative off the ground, and for your timeliness and great questions.  We will miss working with you on a regular basis, but will look forward to your continued involvement in the broader network.  And we welcome Mike Wilson, who will move into the Maine slot on the Steering Committee.  Mike comes to us representing both the Northern Forest Center and the Maine Woods Consortium Tourism Committee, so he is a perfect fit for this regional network effort.

Read on for stories from each of the Northern Forest Region’s four states.  The purpose for this network and these newsletters is to share information among tourism practitioners across the region in order to improve outcomes for all.  As always, your input and contributions are welcome.  Have ideas now?  Share them on our blog.  Please feel free to share this e-mail with other tourism practitioners, and don’t hesitate to contact Kate Williams with any questions.

Warmly,

Kate
