We also encourage our agency owners and managers, as well as our travel advisors, to take full advantage of the many training and networking events offered across the industry. For all these reasons, TDC is pleased to partner with TravelPress Live! and is very much looking forward to taking part in the event.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gagnon says that Dianne Jackson, Director of Franchised and Affiliated Members for Ontario, the West and the Maritimes, will be representing TDC at the event taking place June 16 + 17 at Evergreen Brick Works.
