PRESIDENT, TRAVEL SANTA ANA
WHY: Runs Santa Ana’s destination marketing organization, OC’s newest DMO. Worked at Destination Irvine for 11 years; previously represented Huntington Beach.
IN THE NEWS: New DMO established in June this year, in downtown Santa Ana, to showcase city’s local pride and culture to visitors.
QUOTABLE: At 27 square miles and a population of over 300K, Santa Ana is OC’s second largest city behind Anaheim. “A city of that size to not have its own DMO is unheard of.”
