I recently got a chance to sit down with John Urdi over a cup of coffee. He really opened my eyes to the challenges his department faces and what they are doing on a daily basis to bring visitors to town. His department sounds like it is really trying to make things happen and getting some results. Long story short I was impressed with John. Talk to him if you get a chance.
