Have I told you lately how much I love my job?

As a marketing representative of Holiday Lanes, I “get to” volunteer as a Bossier Chamber of Commerce Diplomat. Doing so allows me to connect and network with people in the community and share with them the “AWESOMENESS” that is Holiday Lanes. When I first began my adventure with the Chamber of Commerce, I wasn’t sure if it would be worth the time or effort. I already had plenty to do and wasn’t sure I would be able to commit to the time requirements.

I also had a twinge of guilt that I wasn’t at my desk working away on bowling events or promotions. That feeling soon faded. I have come to realize the value of being a Bossier Chamber Diplomat. Each week, I learn something new about our community. I engage with other companies and organizations which often give us the opportunity to partner and cross-promote.

Over the years, I have done many things. I’ve been a graphic artist, a print shop manager, a railroad safety and rules coordinator/trainer, a web ministry trainer and now a marketing director. I always had my ear to the ground listening for that next opportunity to come my way. I never thought that working for a bowling alley would be the place that I would find my happiness and stop listening for other opportunities. I have found my place. And with that I have found a way to make a difference in my community by volunteering as a Diplomat. I LOVE MY JOB!

The Chamber promotes growth and development by utilizing its most valuable resource, its membership. The staff at the Bossier Chamber of commerce works to insure that the resources, equipment, and professional staff to implement the program of work are available.

Membership is easy, fun and beneficial to the success of your business. Let me also extend an invitation to any of you who might be interested in becoming a diplomat. The Diplomat Organization is a group of recognized professionals who volunteer their time to promote the Bossier Chamber of Commerce and the entire Bossier/Shreveport community.
