Our team is made up of individuals with varying skills and
abilities that, when put together, exceed expectations
and assist in crafting memorable visitor experiences.
Our Visitor Center Staff is in front of our guests 361 days
a year, answering questions, providing travel advice,
offering tips on navigating Frankenmuth, and generally
being the go-to "Welcoming Committee" when visitors
venture to Michigan's Little Bavaria. The Executive Staff
handles the behind the scenes, day-to-day operations of
the Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors
Bureau including membership duties, groups sales leads,
advertising and marketing, social media management,
event planning, communications, community outreach
programs, and more.
