[SPOKANE, Wash.] Visit Spokane, the region’s destination marketing organization, announced today that President and CEO Meg Winchester has submitted her retirement. Taking the helm in 2019, Winchester led the organization through some of the most challenging times in tourism and hospitality history.
“I didn’t make this decision lightly. Working with the Visit Spokane team through a pandemic was difficult yet inspiring. I’m proud of the entire team,” Winchester said. “It’s been a wild ride and one I’m thankful to have been on.”
Winchester closes out a 30-year, distinguished career in the tourism industry. A search is underway for a new Visit Spokane President and CEO.
Winchester's last day with Visit Spokane will be January 1, 2023.
