“My organization, Mesa Verde Country, has worked with Gaylene for much of the past 15 years. I have had the pleasure to work with her for three of those years, and I've found that her knowledge of the tourism industry, as well as her contacts and connections, made our transition into new markets both quick and easy. She trained me in areas I was unfamiliar with, and increased my knowledge tremendously all with a professional manner that was comforting and confidence-building. I can't say enough about the effort she brings to make our organization shine!”
