VISIT Milwaukee Update

Mar 4, 2022

by Tony Snell

Dear Volunteers,

Our dear Brittany Korth accepted an opportunity in Washington, DC. While we're happy for her, we will deeply miss her leadership, dedication, and love of life and Milwaukee. Brittany worked at VISIT Milwaukee for nearly 10 years, starting in 2012 as a convention services assistant, volunteer coordinator, manager, and director. Please join us in wishing her the very best in her new adventure!
