A message from the director
The weather is cooling down, and the holidays are drawing near. It’s the
perfect time of year to enjoy what’s left of the crisp, cool days of autumn
and get in the holiday spirit with your Platinum Adventures friends! Join us
on upcoming day trips, at educational seminars, and on extended travel
opportunities where we’ll learn new things, take interesting tours, travel
to exciting places, and enjoy great meals together. We look forward to
embarking on adventures—in the area and across the world—and making
more memories together.
Events and extended trips fill up quickly; be sure you reserve a spot for the
activities you are interested in right away. Reservations can be made by email
or telephone via the contact information below.
As the new Platinum Adventures Director, I am looking forward to meeting
all of you at upcoming events. I have been with Wintrust for four years as the
Marketing Account Manager for Wintrust Bank and Northbrook Bank & Trust.
Prior to Wintrust, I worked at another financial institution and coordinated
events for senior customers. I look forward to interacting with customers and
experiencing new places together. We have some exciting events planned this
fall and I hope to meet all of you soon!
