Alison Miller, Vermilion Parish Tourist Executive Director
Alison Miller, Executive Director of the Vermilion Parish Tourist Commission, recently was awarded the Pelican of Distinction Award from Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser.
The award was presented to Miller for her outstanding leadership, unwavering dedication and lasting contributions to the Louisiana tourism industry, according to Nungesser.
“Tourism is often a thankless job since our marketing is not done on the local level and geared towards the out-of-town visitors,” Miller said. “Being recognized for all the work that is done to market our area is greatly appreciated.”
