SkålBoise September Feature #2!

This year's Skål Boise board is led by President Andrew Heidt, Vice President of Sales at Visit Boise, alongside officers from Boise Centre, Residence Inn by Marriott, IBL Events, Hyatt, Idaho Tourism, Enterprise Holdings, and the Southwest Idaho Travel Association.

The Boise club works hand-in-hand to promote the region's expanding tourism ecosystem rather than competing individually and they all sit at the same table [at least] once a month instead of only crossing paths at trade shows.

We love seeing this type of collaboration, team Boise!
