Writer Lauds DCVB's Poley as a Go-To Guy

"In the course of 15 plus years I have worked with many tourism, marketing, and other folks in the business of promoting cities and towns across the U.S. Without a question, Sam Poley in the Durham CVB is the best in North Carolina and in the top 5 I have worked with in the Southeast. Sam is never too busy to respond and is usually one of the “first responders” when I put out my 411 emails. Once, he even took my call while trying to get out the door to vacation – I think his children were waiting on him or either he took the call while on vacation, which would not surprise me. I would not want to write an article about Durham without talking to Sam to first.  For the best scoop in town, he is the Go-To Guy."

- Lynne Brandon, Brandon Communications
