Choose Lansing

Meet the Choose Lansing team! 📢 Dani Johnson, CTA is a Sales Manager focused on bringing social, military, education, religious and fraternal groups' events to Greater Lansing. Dani recently celebrated earning MPI Michigan Chapter's Rising Star Award, as well as getting married in November! 🎉 We asked Dani her favorite thing about her role at Choose Lansing, and her answer was hearing about people's passions. "From collecting items to driving limited edition cars to supporting historic fraternities, I work with many clients whose passions show in everyday conversations with them. You can always see their faces light up when they talk about their organizations’ purposes." Dani's favorite part of the Lansing area is "all of the museums. I’m a nerd, and there’s so much to learn in Lansing!" We're so proud and grateful to have Dani on our team. Give her a shout out in the comments! Connect with Dani: https://lnkd.in/gQDcb7BC
