NET member in the news: Vanessa Williams

Vanessa, who serves as Marketing Chair for the NET, is currently featured on the homepage of visitpa.com. She, along with other Pennsylvania residents, created "playlists" or a lists of activities to do across the state. Vanessa was asked to join the project through a friend who is responsible for Pennsylvania tourism promotion.

"When I was asked to participate I jumped at the chance," she says. "I think Pennsylvania is a great state to live in, and with a little digging and some help there is plenty to do here in the Lehigh Valley and beyond."

The NET agrees, Vanessa.
