Trip of a Lifetime: Lake Oswego Chamber’s Tuscan Experience

Episode Notes

Have you always dreamed of a Tuscan vacation but didn’t know where to start? Well, the Chamber has you covered! Heather Ramsey of Coach to Brilliance, who specializes in executive coaching and leadership development, sits down with Andy Boone of Collette. They discuss the new Chamber Travel Program: a seven-night “spotlight tour” based in Montecatini Terme, Tuscany, with daily excursions, guided and free time, a full-time tour manager, and round-trip transport from Lake Oswego to PDX. The tour includes airfare, visits such as Montecatini, a woman-owned winery, Lucca, and a farmhouse cooking experience, timed for October shoulder season. Booking is open to chamber and community members (and out-of-area guests via alternate air gateways) through Travel and Cruise Desk, Expedia Cruises, or Global Travel Masters, supporting chamber fundraising. This episode also highlights Business Leadership Development (Jan–Jun, monthly full-day), Veterans Day at Foothills Park (Nov 11, 11:00 AM), the Tree Lighting Festival at Millennium Park Plaza (Nov 28, 3–7 PM; lighting 5:30), and the chamber healthcare plan.
