TOURISM & HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE
Our Tourism & Hospitality Committee meets every other month and works successfully to promote both tourism and hospitality in our county, especially as these two important industries relate to our members. Supporting the "Blue Economy" initiative is a key part of our agenda for this group.
 
Currently chaired by Warren's Parks & Recreation Director Henry Bowman, this vibrant group includes regular appearances by representatives of our partners at the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau (DMCVB) along with officials from a number of our Macomb communities.

If you'd like to learn more about the Tourism & Hospitality Committee, including meeting schedules, please contact committee liaison  Patty Le Duc at 586.731.5400 x21, or [email protected].
