For nearly 30 years, one of the strongest voices for tourism in Door County has been Jon Jarosh.

The tenure of Destination Door County’s chief communications officer and interim CEO dates to 1997 and has included several changes along the way, including the organization’s name and the implementation of the room tax that helps fund some of its operations.

While the organization’s work may have evolved over time, its purpose has remained the same: making Door County a better place to live and work.

With decades of experience to draw on, one of Jarosh’s proudest accomplishments is a relatively recent one. Jarosh said the three-year-old Community Investment Fund is one of the greatest reminders of the power of tourism and the positive impact it can have on the community.
