Meet Jeff Guignard #withTownHall
By Leeann Froese It’s a new week to bring you amazing people #withTownHall!
If you are new to reading this blog or new to our company – we want you to know that we are proud that we have a big network, and we are continually meeting new and interesting personalities.
This week #withTownHall, we are rolling in on #featurefriday to introduce you to an amazing executive director, Jeff Guignard.
Jeff is the executive director of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees (ABLE BC) where he oversees all strategic and operational responsibilities.
If you haven't heard of ABLE they are the industry advocate for liquor issues affecting private liquor stores, pubs, bars, nightclubs, and hotels throughout the province of British Columbia.
At ABLE BC Jeff is a problem solver ensuring member concerns and challenges in the private liquor industry are addressed. He works to create solutions with strategic planning, consultation with government, and monitoring and reporting on trends that appear in the industry.
Coming from a background as a freelance writer and editor, he is able to use these skills as editor of The Publican magazine.
Jeff has been part of the board of directors for the BC Hospitality Foundation (BCHF), who is one of Town Hall's clients, since 2014. The BCHF gives support those in the hospitality industry through education scholarships and financial assistance when a medical need arises. As part of the board Jeff provides valuable feedback, time and helps spread the word about the BCHF and what they do.
In his downtime, Jeff curls competitively, he's ranked, and reads contemporary fiction.
With all that being said will you help us say hello to Jeff?
