Lisa Simon Bids Farewell to NTA

Dec 08, 2013

After 28 years with the National Tourist Association (NTA), Lisa Simon will step down from her position as president at the end of the month. Over the course of her NTA tenure, Simon oversaw initiatives to expand the association’s international reach, developing inbound travel from China and growing its faith-based travel market. She acted as president of the NTA for the past seven years.

“The NTA Board and I want to thank Lisa for her tireless dedication and for her work as president,” said Mark Hoffmann, CTP, chairman and CEO of NTA. “We will sorely miss her experience, her steady leadership and her strong advocacy for our membership.”
