Experience Maritime Maine is a “partnership of maritime-related organizations, businesses, and coastal communities working together to promote and preserve Maine’s unique maritime culture through heritage tourism efforts.”
The collaboration, which has been in place for several years, faced a leadership transition in early 2016, and I agreed to come on and help with project coordination through the end of the year. I’ll be coordinating monthly meetings, planning for the collaboration’s fall retreat and biannual stakeholders’ meeting, moving various initiatives forward (like the new rack card, designed by Thierry Bonneville), and generally acting as an ambassador for this important heritage tourism initiative.
