How DCI Embraced Our Passion for Places in 2017

As the year quickly draws to a close, it’s easy for all of us here at Development Counsellors International to look back on the corporate successes and client wins we’ve worked so hard for in public relations, destination marketing and economic development. The DCI staff is incredibly proud of the numerous successes we’ve enjoyed throughout the year, but also as equally proud to honor our commitment to living out our values. A passion for places is at the heart of everything we do here at DCI, so at this time of year, we celebrate our committed staff who embrace a “passion for places” and “pursue happiness,” both on and off the clock. Here are some of our favorite “family” photos of our personal adventures this year. On behalf of DCI, season’s greetings and may you have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!
