Harry Sladich is resigning as president and CEO of the Spokane Regional CVB, effective April 23.
Beginning May 3, Sladich will serve as executive vice president of sales and marketing for Red Lion Hotels Corp. In his new role, Sladich will oversee all aspects of sales and marketing for all 45 Red Lion hotels. He will be based in the Spokane area.
“Harry Sladich is a tremendous leader, and our community has benefited greatly from having Harry at the helm of the [CVB],” said Spokane Mayor Mary Verner. “We will feel his loss at the CVB. Fortunately, though, our community gets to keep him and we expect him to continue to be community booster and a catalyst for change.”
Sladich is well known in the tourism industry. He was appointed by Governor Chris Gregoire to serve on two state boards of directors, including the Washington State Convention and Trade Center and WashingtonFilmWorks.
