Look at our award winner!

Last week at the NEC Conference in Williamsburg, VA, our very own Sales Executive, Sarah Langlois, was recognized as an SGMP Top Young Professional for 2026 by the Society of Government Meeting Professionals.

This national award highlights emerging leaders in the government meetings industry who demonstrate strong leadership, professional excellence, and a commitment to their chapters and communities. Sarah absolutely embodies that every day in her work with Visit Muskegon.

From representing our team at conferences to building relationships that support Muskegon’s tourism and meetings industry, she shows up with energy, professionalism, and heart.

We’re proud of her, and even more excited to see what she does next.
