Louisville Tourism Adds Staff and Announces Promotions

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 23, 2023) – Louisville Tourism is pleased to announce Jessica Dillree has been promoted to Louisville Tourism’s Associate Director of Marketing role as of May 1. This newly developed position will play an integral role, focusing on Louisville Tourism’s strategic efforts in the Meetings and Conventions

McDermott joined Louisville Tourism over a year ago as a City Information Agent. She will be supporting the agency’s initiatives through the CRM database management, event support and publication coordination.
