[March 31, 2015]  LINCOLN - The Logan County Tourism Bureau is happy to announce Margaret “Maggie” McMurtrey as their new Tourism Director.

McMurtrey is a Central Illinois native who graduated from Greenville College with degrees in communication, public relations and English. As a former collegiate athlete, she is particularly interested in enhancing sports tourism for Logan County. She is excited to begin working in Logan County and is thrilled to become better acquainted with members of the community.

The Tourism Bureau had an outstanding response to the call for qualified applicants for the director position. McMurtrey was the hiring committee’s unanimous top choice. “The committee was so impressed with Maggie’s professionalism and her high recommendations. The group felt that she would have no issues connecting with the community and be a strong leader and advocate for Logan County Tourism.”, said Andi Hake, president and CEO of the Logan County Alliance, who was a member of the hiring committee.

McMurtrey will begin her duties on Monday, April 6, 2015. She is anticipating relocating to Logan County by the end of April. Her top priorities are to meet with and build relationships with key stakeholders in Logan County Tourism, get the Tourism Bureau actively engaged in the largest tourist events in Logan County throughout the summer event season, and to continue the execution of the strategic marketing plan that was developed in 2014 by DCC Marketing.
