Chris Moyer
Travel and tourism have never been more essential, and SATW members help inspire millions of people to explore the world with an open mind and heart. My name is Chris Moyer, and I am honored to be considered for the position of Treasurer on the SATW board. I have only been in the travel industry for the past two years, after more than 15 years working in communications in government and economic development. I have always loved what I do, but working for Visit Detroit in this role is the best job I have ever had. Every day, I see firsthand the impact of great storytelling on a destination. SATW members’ work helps build communities, bring travelers to small businesses, and break down preconceived notions.
I am proud to be a member of SATW because of the connections, friendships, and professional development it offers. Membership has given me so much, and I want to give back by serving the association. I would be grateful for your support.

I have served two terms on the Western Chapter Board as the chapter’s Associate-At-Large and now feel ready to take the step up to serve on the national society board in the treasurer role.
I often joke with colleagues that, “I do words not numbers.” I imagine most of you in this organization can relate – seeing as we have all dedicated our careers to telling travel stories. That said, I value my membership in SATW so much, that when asked to run for society treasurer, I was quick to accept and declare that I would willingly volunteer to “do numbers” in the treasurer position. I am excited to further support and contribute to the society in this role. As a destination public relations professional, I am skilled at keeping track of numerous priorities at one time and have an eye for details that I would bring to this position.
I joined SATW as an Associate Member in 2015 and have participated in many society events both in person and virtually over the past nine years. I am currently entering my seventh year as the Public Relations Manager for the City of Santa Fe, New Mexico tourism department.
I feel honored to be considered as a candidate to serve the organization in this critical role and I would appreciate your vote.
