Elgin County is pleased to announce that John Tschirhart, owner of Tschirhart’s Fine Custom Furniture in
Vienna, is Elgin County’s Ambassador of the Year for
2015.
Elgin County Ambassadors are
people who volunteer their time to help promote business throughout Elgin County
and actively participate in the growth and development of the County. The
Ambassador of the Year is awarded based on points that are given to ambassadors
for a variety of items including attendance at quarterly meetings, recruiting
new members, promoting Elgin County at events, and informing the County’s
Economic Development staff about new businesses and those looking to relocate
within the area.
Tschirhart has over 30 years of
experience in the billiard industry which he used to expand into designing and
producing quality home furnishings. Tschirhart provides his customers with fine
furnishings of timeless design and classic craftsmanship and has developed a
reputation for high quality and dedicated service.
In
2015, Tschirhart
worked to bring new Ambassadors into the fold from within our community. He also
helped spread the word about Elgin County across Canada and internationally as
well. Whether it is taking Elgin County Visitor’s Guides with him to
international trade shows, attracting the attention of the CBC to the village of Vienna, or
working with international investors to get them to invest in our
community, Tschirhart has been a dedicated member of the program.
"Although relatively new to the
Ambassador Program, Tschirhart has taken on the role with enthusiasm and is a prime example of what
it means to be an Elgin County Ambassador," said Economic Development General
Manager Alan Smith. "The County would like to thank him for his continuing
efforts to fuel tourism and economic development in the region."
The Elgin County Ambassador
program is open to entrepreneurs, business owners and community leaders. For
