To further support Canadian trade partners, the Globus family of brands recently announced that it had expanded its field team with the addition of two, new BDMs: Gina Goranson (British Columbia) and Elaine French (Ontario), bringing the total to seven BDMs serving partners nationwide.

This, in addition to the company prioritizing in-person engagement through training sessions, events and Cruise Director/Tour Director roadshows, which are especially valuable for the growing number of home-based advisors.
