David comes from CD+M Communications, a local marketing agency based in South Portland, having been there 11 years. Prior to CD+M, he handled all the marketing for the Council of International Education Exchange (CIEE) for five years.

In 2022, MOT released the Destination Management Plan. Since launching the plan, the tourism landscape has continued to evolve. Your input, expertise, and perspective are important as the Maine Office of Tourism begins strategic planning for a Destination Management Plan: 2025 Reset that will integrate the next 5-Year Marketing & Development Strategy.
Let your voices be heard.
