A press release from the chamber said, “Each element of experience and knowledge gained throughout Christine’s career journey has led to this ultimate opportunity to circle back to her hometown of Bristol, Conn., where she is excited to serve the community and businesses while focusing on revitalizing the Bristol Chamber of Commerce and assisting the Bristol Economical and Development Authority in maintaining a cohesive relationship between Bristol and the businesses and industries they call home.
“I am thrilled to join the chamber team and help with the growth and revitalization of the Bristol Chamber. I look at this as an opportunity to promote Bristol businesses and encourage local business owners and employees to get more involved in the chamber.” Mola said, according to the press release.
Mola’s not for profit and community interests began early on in the ‘90s as she volunteered and participated in not-for-profit meeting and special event planning teams for organizations such as The Bristol Hospital Auxiliary and the Greater Hartford Autism Society, said the chamber’s release. During that period, Mola developed her professional career in the Connecticut Advertising and Marketing Industry working for a local Hartford radio cluster as an Account Sales Representative working her way to the position as Advertising manager for a Litchfield County newspaper group. “She took this professional corporate experience and melded it with her innate abilities to sell, plan, and create amazing events and took off on a journey where she was proud to be successful in the positions of catering sales Manager, director of catering and events, and director of banquet operations for elite banquet facilities and clubs in the Hartford and surrounding markets. Many tremendous relationships, and friendships, were created within Connecticut food and beverage/events industry, and beyond.”
Mola serves on the Board of Directors for the Farmington Valley Visitors Association, since 2013, and co-chairs the Events Committee, while participating in several additional FVVA committees. She also had affiliations and participated in events/committees with several Chambers of Commerce, to include Northwest, Avon, and Farmington.
