We are excited to offer this fun and interactive training, courtesy of the Flint & Genesee Certified Tourism Ambassador Program, on Tuesday, October 29, from 9 a.m. until about 1 p.m. A light breakfast, and beverages will be provided. The certification fee is normally $30, but we are offering this training at no cost, to the first 30 members that enroll. There is a pre-read booklet that everyone is required to read before attending class and a 28-question quiz at the end of the training (open book/class participation).
 
A little history about the Program. Almost eight years ago, Explore Flint & Genesee (Convention & Visitors Bureau) introduced the CTA Program (which is a national, industry certification) to the area to help increase tourism and change the perception of Flint & Genesee by inspiring local employees, employers, volunteers, and people that live, work, and play in our community, to turn every encounter into a positive experience. When visitors, and those that call Flint & Genesee home, have positive experiences they are more likely to return and share these great experiences with others. Everyone benefits!
 
The CTA Program also helps align Flint & Genesee with a positive message about our community and increases the knowledge about our history and tourism that tourists and residents enjoy.
 
Please find attached, easy directions on how to create a personal CTA account/profile and register for the Tuesday, October 29 training course. The process takes just a few minutes. Please open the attachment and follow the directions of enrolling and becoming a CTA. When you get to the last page (page 5) follow the directions “To become a CTA – complete the enrollment form” and then “Check-Out of the cart.”
 
Enrollment for each training course does close two weeks prior so everyone has time to prepare. For the October 29 training course, the enrollment deadline is Tuesday, October 15.
