Mrs. Susan Corbett will deliver the opening remarks at the statewide Tourism Summit on Monday, March 14 at The Hilton Harrisburg. The three-day event, hosted by the Pennsylvania Tourism and Lodging Association (PTLA), The Pennsylvania Association of Convention & Visitors Bureaus (PACVB), and the Pennsylvania Tourism Coalition, is titled “Together for Tourism,” and strives to bring together many industry partners to explore ways to work more collaboratively toward a stronger voice with our new Governor and state legislature. The event, intended to become an annual gathering of the state’s second largest industry, will include representatives of every facet of PA tourism including museums, wineries, golf courses, hotels, restaurants, attractions, the arts, suppliers and many other tourism partners’ largely made up of small businesses and non-profit organizations. As you know Tourism is a critical partner in bringing jobs and economic development to Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Corbett’s role in our Tourism Summit is both timely and fitting. She has been a longtime board member of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, which provides grants to nonprofit arts organizations. During the 1990s, Mrs. Corbett was special projects manager for the president's office at Carnegie Museums and the director's office of Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Mrs. Corbett then became assistant producer, and ultimately, executive director of Pittsburgh Arts and Lectures, a nationally recognized literary arts organization. After her husband was elected attorney general, Mrs. Corbett relocated to Harrisburg, where she became vice president of programs and development of the Gettysburg Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and heritage of Gettysburg.
We are very excited to have Mrs. Corbett as a part of our event and look forward to working with her, Governor Corbett and this administration to continue to promote our diverse Tourism product in Pennsylvania.
