Amanda Grubb, Membership and Marketing Director
Ordinarily, tripling our membership would result in significant and unexpected challenges. Amanda has led the effort to improving customer service by implementing on-line program and priority registration, practically eliminating the need to wait in line. Her BS degree in Business Management and service-oriented approach in dealing with members and guests are attributes that mesh well with her responsibilities. Amanda was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and now resides in Winchendon with her boyfriend, Sam, and baby girl, Sofi.
