In order to help create a dynamic, effective guide that represents the area, local design company, Beyond Graphix/Brian McAndrew, has been contracted by the Grand Forks Chamber for this project. Many advertisers may remember Brian from his “OpenMinder” in 1999/2000, his volunteer work, or his recent international award for magazine design.

Beyond Graphix will also design your ad at no extra charge.

Another member of the team is advertising representative, Tina Bryan. Tina owns and operates VMA Solutions, a consulting business that offers help to small businesses in marketing and branding. Both Brian and Tina’s desire to assist the development of the tourism industry in the Boundary is the prime motivation for their involvement in the project. Their unique abilities and keen interest will contribute greatly to the success of the guide.

The Grand Forks Chamber introduces both Tina and Brian as partners in the promotion of your business. If you have any questions about the 2005 Regional Visitor Guide,
