Member Testimonials
Here’s what some of our 700 member businesses have to say about the CVC’s vital efforts to promote our region:
“Mom’s Originals has been a member of the CVC almost as long as we have been in business, since early 2008. While our company may be new, you wouldn’t know it by the contacts we’ve made and the accounts we have established through our membership. We can absolutely dedicate a portion of our success to the staff of the CVC, their love of St. Louis, their excitement for what they do and, of course, for the people they know. Joining the SLCVC has been one of the best business decisions we’ve made to date.
Taran Hensley, President, ,
Mom’s Originals, Inc.
“I have been a member of the SLCVC since 1991 and value the significant impact this proactive organization has on the region. The SLCVC not only promotes tourism and conventions, it promotes a positive image of St. Louis. Partnering with the SLCVC has enhanced the development of The Loop: first in the summer leisure travel months and now all year long. In addition to the excellent personal contacts the SLCVC staff makes around the region and country, the most valuable element of membership for The Loop is the Official St. Louis Visitors Guide that is also featured on the website.

“We have been members of the CVC since the inception of my company in 1990. Our membership has really been instrumental in our success, not only because of the networking opportunities with other members, but with the many workshops and learning opportunities for me and my staff. The relationships that we have formed with local vendors, hoteliers, and the CVC staff through the many events the CVC sponsors and hosts each year are invaluable.
Julie Greenspoon-Kelly, President,,
Destination St. Louis, Inc.
“We love our membership. It easily paid for itself within the first week that we signed up. We ship our treasure hunt packages all over the country and we can directly attribute those sales to our explorestlouis.com listing. Additionally, we have booked numerous corporate packages because our clients found us through the CVC. My only regret is that we didn’t sign up sooner.
