The Greater Raleigh CVB (GRCVB) named Denny Edwards its new president and CEO, effective May 7.
Edwards succeeds Dave Heinl, who at press time planned to retire April 27 after 20 years at the bureau.
“Following an extensive national search that involved many community and business leaders, Denny Edwards clearly emerged as the type of leader who will engage various stakeholders in further transforming Greater Raleigh into a more viable visitors and meeting destination,” said Russ Smith, chairman of the GRCVB’s board of directors.
Edwards brings 25 years of industry experience to his new position and most recently worked as senior vice president for the Greater Fort Lauderdale CVB.
