THOMPSONVILLE, Mich. (August 4, 2023) – After more than a decade of leading the sales department, Arah Johnson will now expand her expertise as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Crystal Mountain.

“I still remember Arah’s first interview when she came to us soon after graduating from Central Michigan University,” said Chris MacInnes, President of Crystal Mountain. “My father interviewed her as well and without a doubt said, ‘hire her, she’s a winner’ and sure enough he was right, she hit the ground running and hasn’t stopped since.”

Showcasing her dedication and commitment to excellence, Arah has steadily progressed through various roles within the company, starting as a Group Sales Manager and later assuming the position of Director of Sales. In 2015, she was appointed to Vice President of Sales where she has played a pivotal role in driving sales strategies and achieving record-breaking results.

“Arah's deep understanding of our guests' needs, combined with her strategic sales expertise, will further elevate the Crystal brand and expand our reach within the industry, said John Melcher, CEO of Crystal Mountain. “We are confident that her leadership skills will bring about positive growth, increased guest satisfaction, and strengthened partnerships.”

As a leader in the tourism industry, she also serves as the Board President for West Michigan Tourist Association. Beyond her professional endeavors, Arah has contributed to her local community by serving on the Frankfort Elberta Area Schools Board of Education for 10 years.
