Regional collaboration at work: A few members of the Destination Sales Team recently conducted a joint sales mission with Greater Richmond Partnership and partners from Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico and the City of Richmond in Washington, D.C. to introduce new clients to the Richmond Region. We brought along the fantastic team at The Original Ronnie’s BBQ too. We all love sharing the Richmond Region with the world. The time spent together and with clients was a success. 💪
