After a year-long transition period, the Bakersfield CVB reopened and is now fully staffed and operating under city management.
“I am very thrilled to say Bakersfield is back on the meeting, convention and tourism scene,” said Don Cohen, the bureau’s new executive director. “Bakersfield is a destination ready to be showcased to its fullest potential and our new staff is already showing people why Bakersfield is a great place to meet and stay.”
In addition to Cohen, the CVB staffers include sales managers Mathew Billingsley and Penny Rafferty, and marketing and events specialist Chris Huot. The bureau is currently redesigning its website, with completion expected by the end of the year.
