A familiar face in Eau Claire will be leaving her position.
After 27 years leading Visit Eau Claire, Executive Director Linda John is leaving the organization and embarking upon a new business venture.
When it comes to counting the successes, John points to the numbers, with tourism at an all-time high and the 10-year growth of hotel room tax up 72%. In most recent years, John has been at the table for the completion of Pablo Center at the Confluence, where Visit Eau Claire opened its new Experience Center, as well as collaborating to craft the community partnership strategy for the new Sonnentag Event and Recreation Complex.
