Promoters Wanted!

Posted Jan 20, 2009 by Lara

As it relates to Fuse Duluth, a promoter is someone who loves Duluth and tells other people how great it is and why they should move here.  A detractor is someone who is unhappy with some aspect of living in Duluth and tells other people why they should move away or not move here from somewhere else.  I can’t help but feel that it is even simpler than that.  A promoter is an optimistic person and a detractor is a pessimistic person.

Is the glass half full or half empty?  It depends on how you look at it.  Back in the late 70s when the steel plant closed and Duluth lost 20,000 people from its population total it was the detractors that fueled the fire for a slowing local economy.  What we need right now are promoters.  We need optimistic people to call their friends and let them know why they choose Duluth.  We need promoters to help develop our local economy.  Start a company and create jobs.  Finally, we need promoters to get together and meet one another.  There is power in numbers.  Fuse Duluth is 415 members strong and more promoters are wanted!
