WBC Learns How to Save on Vacation Costs at April Luncheon

Planning a summer vacation? Or even looking long range to going home for the holidays or dreaming of a 2020 winter cruise? Marion Women’s Business Council member Alicia Turner, manager of Marion’s AAA, will share her knowledge and excitement of the travel industry, along with tips on clever ways to save money when planning your next vacation.

Set for Monday, April 8, the luncheon will be from 11:30 to 1:00 in the Guthery Room at Maynard Hall on The Ohio State University at Marion/Marion Technical College campus.

Turner joined AAA Ohio Auto Club in February of 2007 as manager of the Marion Store. She is a Certified Travel Agent, Certified Travel Consultant and Destination Specialist. In 2018, Turner was promoted to the District Sales Manager position. In addition to managing the Marion location, she now oversees the operation and sales of the Tiffin, Sandusky and Fremont AAA locations.

Turner is originally from Northeast Ohio, and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance with a minor in Psychology from Kent State University in 2002. When Turner relocated to Marion in 2006, she wanted to learn more about the community she was living in, so in 2007, she participated and graduated from the Marion Chamber of Commerce Leadership Marion program. She is a member of the Marion Women’s Business Council and the Marion Chamber of Commerce. Turner enjoys traveling, as much as she can, with her husband and sons.
