Message from the Director
Welcome to our new director, Bryce Riggs!

It is with great pleasure that I am able to serve as your Executive Director. Over the next few months I look forward to working with the team to hit the ground running and to serve you, as many of you confront the challenges that COVID-19 has had on our normal circumstances. We are excited to assist and connect with all of our members to gain feedback on how we can better serve our members and the entire business community. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at BRiggs@TiffinChamber.com or 419-889-3932. Thank you for all you do to make our community a better place!
2021 Visitors Guide Update

With the pandemic shutting down our businesses, we have decided to hold the publication of the 2021 Guide until next spring. By having the guide run for an 18-month period rather than a year, we are hoping to stretch your advertising dollars over a longer period of time.
Because of this, we will be collecting your visitor guide information much later in the year. Until then, we encourage you to check your listing on our website at DestinationSenecaCounty.org and please let us know any information that needs changed by filling out this survey .
We also ask that you include the best contact information for one of your employees, managers, owners, or marketing professionals, so we can make sure you get the most up to date information, updates, and news coming out of our office! For many businesses, we still do not have up to date emails, so please make sure you include that information.
We strive to make sure our guide is up to date for print every year, and we need your help to do so! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at info@destinationsenecacounty.org or 567-220-6387.
