I am interested in becoming a director on the Whistler Chamber of Commerce board. My fifteen years as part of the business community in Whistler and the Sea to Sky Corridor as a whole have provided me with a variety of experiences and deep understanding of both the opportunities and challenges Whistler faces now and in the future.

I am a highly motivated team player with proven success developing and implementing business plans, along with marketing & communications strategies in the tourism, adventure travel and development industries. In my career I have held leadership positions in a variety of organizations including GM, Marketing at Whistler Blackcomb, Project Manager, Whistler Canada Olympic House, a small business owner and currently as Director of Sales and Marketing for the new Sea to Sky Gondola.

Over the past fifteen years, I have both led and been part of resort-wide teams involved in high profile initiatives including WSSF, the Peak to Peak launch, and the 2010 Olympics. Most recently, I have been involved in the approval process, planning and successful launch of the Sea to Sky Gondola.

 My board and community experience has included representing Whistler Blackcomb on the Whistler Chamber board in 2005-06 and the WSSF board from 2003-2005. I have also been very involved in KidSport and youth soccer in the corridor.

 I am extremely passionate about businesses of all sizes thriving in Whistler and would take a role on the Chamber Board very seriously.

Sincerely,

Christie Allan
Director of Sales & Marketing
Sea to Sky Gondola
