STATE COLLEGE — Betsey Howell, executive director of the Central Pennsylvania Convention and Visitors Bureau, announced that she plans to retire Sunday, May 12, after serving the greater State College and Centre County region as part of the CPCVB for 36 years.
Having joined the bureau in 1981 and served as executive director since 1986, Howell is looking forward to spending time with her family. The board of directors of the CPCVB will be immediately forming a committee to initiate a national search for a new executive director.
“All who have encountered Betsey throughout her time with the CPCVB are grateful for her many years of service. Our next executive director must be a highly qualified individual who can build on Betsey’s efforts to promote our area for years to come,” said Bob Ricketts, board president.
The organization said it looks forward to planning a celebration for Howell’s years of service.
