David Chason

Kelly Tours

I am honored to be a nominee for the SYTA Board of Directors.  I began working for Kelly Tours in Savannah, GA in 2007.  My first assignment was taking four busloads of YMCA students to a water park. While I may not have been much help that day, it sparked my passion for student travel – especially if that meant going to more water parks! My primary duties would be to lead the Student Travel division by maintaining client relationships, developing new leads, and growing business opportunities. Today, I continue that mission with nearly 20 years of experience in sales, operations, and financial management, along with a commitment to problem-solving and advocating for student groups. Since joining SYTA over 10 years ago, I have enjoyed the benefits of membership and would be honored to bring my experience and dedication to the SYTA Board, its members, and future members.
