This summer, visitors to Holland will be greeted by a team of "ambassadors" who will not only welcome everyone with a smile, but be a source of detailed knowledge of all that downtown merchants have to offer.
The Downtown Ambassador Program is an extension of activities like the Groove Walk and street performers. "It's about making the city more vibrant," says Mimi Fritz, marketing director for
Downtown Holland.
To support this new program, the city is looking to hire 3-6 "ambassadors" who will be trained in restaurant fare, hotel amenities and the various shopping experiences.
The roving ambassadors will be easy to spot with their own uniform including a pith helmet, messenger bags and bright colored shirts.
Fritz adds that this position is perfect for anyone, especially students and retirees. "We need someone is personable, has a lot of energy and loves talking to people."
