I'm so proud of my community for refusing to accept the status quo and aiming to be relevant in the music industry.
Last night, I had the opportunity to listen to a panel discussion hosted by Danny Davis at Tangled String Studios. Members of the The Recording Academy shared their insights on supporting music artists and the opportunities available, from college scholarships to workshops to even membership. Touronimo Destination Management Group was proud to be a supporting partner.
I believe pushing boundaries, challenging norms, and embracing change is essential. It's who I am. This got me thinking—isn't that exactly how cities grow? Like artists, cities flourish when they reject mediocrity and challenge the notion that things must remain as they are. Yet, how often do we find ourselves trapped in the comfort of the familiar, accepting the status quo simply because it's easier than striving for something better?
Breaking free from the present and dreaming of a better future is how cities transform from a collection of buildings into thriving communities.
Two years ago, Huntsville didn't have a Destination Management Company (DMC), and some were unfamiliar with what a DMC was, even though they exist in all major cities. However, as our city has grown, we've needed more hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, AND DMC services. I believe in contributing to the growth of our state and keeping up with its progress. We, the guests of our state and the hospitality community, deserve it.
What other businesses have evolved over the past five years that are needed now due to growth? Were you, like me, asked to create yours because it did not exist?
