Tourism Kelowna will soon be on the search for a new President and CEO.
Current President and CEO, Nancy Cameron, is leaving the position after 17 years with Tourism Kelowna.
She’ll be relocating her family to Vancouver Island.
“We would like to extend our thanks and deepest appreciation for Nancy’s contributions to the development and operation of this highly effective organization that generates such benefits to our tourism businesses and community as a whole,” said Daniel Bibby, Chair of Tourism Kelowna. "Her commitment to this industry locally, provincially and nationally and the respect she has earned through such involvement, contributed greatly to her successful organization leadership of Tourism Kelowna.”
Cameron is responsible for evolving Tourism Kelowna into the current not-for-profit organization that it is.
The organization has seen great success under her leadership, including the implementation of sustainable, performance-based funding through the municipal and regional district tax.
Other accomplishments include a 60% increase in the number of annual visitors to the Central Okanagan and the approval to relocate the city’s visitor centre to its future downtown location.
“I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to the Tourism Kelowna Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and tourism businesses for their support and enthusiasm for Tourism Kelowna and this vibrant and growing tourism economy,” said Cameron. “My time with this organization has been filled with rewarding opportunities and I’ve had the good fortune to work with many very special people who are committed to this industry’s success.”
Tourism Kelowna’s Board of Directors will begin a search for Cameron’s replacement in the coming weeks.
