PLYMOUTH — The Visit Marshall County Board is seeking to fill the position of Marshall County Tourism Executive Director.
The board had listed the job description on various websites and job boards. There was one applicant who submitted a resume, but the board is looking for more candidates who are interested in applying. Since there is no meeting in July, the board will collect and review more applications during the Aug. 11 meeting.
The Executive Director will serve as the primary liaison between Marshall County Tourism and other organizations, including local government, business associations, and community groups. They will also be in charge of developing and managing public awareness campaigns to promote Marshall County as a premier tourist destination.
At June’s meeting, Board President Lizziey Sherk reminded the board that they were looking at a salary of $50,000-$65,000 range.
Sherk said that she had reached out to Carrie Lambert, Indiana Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Executive Director, about a bonus compensation structure for the position who informed her that there was not a bonus compensation structure that she knew of for tourism.
“Not that it’s not possible, just that there isn’t one out there,” said Sherk. “It was not forbidden. It just hasn’t been done.”
For more information or if you’re interested in the position, candidates should submit a resume and cover letter detailing their background, skills, and experience, and explaining why they are interested in this position to VisitMarshallCo@gmail.com.
