Tourism promotion for Door and Kewaunee counties is moving ahead even as the Wisconsin Department of Tourism is looking for new leadership. Secretary-designee Sara Meany announced last week she's stepping down from the job to join the private sector. Meany's resignation won't impact marketing efforts for local and regional visitors and convention bureaus. Jack Moneypenny, the President and CEO of Destination Door County, says Wisconsin's Department of Tourism is structured to meet such changes without interruption.
Sara Meany was named secretary-designee of the department of tourism last year, though she was never confirmed by the state legislature.
