"I have worked with Pat Gowan for several years and she has been a great help in all the international trips I have taken. I feel very confident when leaving the country that all details are in place and travel will be easy. I was even stranded in Europe one year and Pat took care of everything and made sure we returned home safely. " Nancy Carpenter, Topeka
"...Thank you for all your help in making our honeymoon the best memory possible!",

"...I would like to take a moment to say thank you to one of your agents. I have worked with Debbie Marvin every year for plane tickets for my son in Connecticut. This has been going on for 11 years. She has always worked to find the best possible times and rates that she can and with all the unaccompanied minor stuff - I am sure it has not always been easy. I know a lot of people are using the internet these days, but I will always use Travel Leaders. Thank you all so much and thank you Debbie!..." Adam L, Lawrence Ks
"...You did great! You've been great to work with! You are exactly why we need to use travel agents!" Joyce B, Topeka

We are staying up to date on the ever changing policies, travel credit parameters and tour operator/cruise line/airline cancellations. And we will be available to review your information once we are settled. The agent with your trip details will reach out to you in the coming days to make this communication easier.
We are choosing to remain optimistic. If we all do our part, we look forward to coming through this together. I keep hearing that CRISIS REVEALS CHARACTER. This is an opportunity for each of us to step up to the plate, Participate in the wall that will keep this virus from causing further damage.

We are SO PROUD of you Pat! Pat Gowan will be recognized in Phoenix by one of her long-time corporate clients. NIAAA is recognizing Pat in appreciation for her years of service and dedication. Dr Mike Blackburn, Executive Director, said "Pat Gowan is a favorite of the NIAAA membership. For over 25 years she has been the helping hand for those who travel to, or for, the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association – NIAAA. Our people speak so highly o...f Pat, her demeanor, patience, and willingness to assist when travel challenges arise during a trip. For those making arrangements to travel to Indianapolis for meetings, or their travel to our national conference, it is always assuring to hear Pat’s voice with options for planning preparations. It is our pleasure to recognize, Pat Gowan, on December 12 at the NIAAA Annual Meeting held during the National Athletic Directors Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. The NIAAA family is excited to do so – Congratulations, Pat!
