Tourism On A New Mission
The Tourism Council in Galesburg will be providing services based on a new mission statement.

Director of the Galesburg Area Convention and Visitors Bureau Judy Guenseth says the new mission statement reflects the direction and purpose of the current Tourism Council more accordingly than years past.

Council President Steve Watts asked for approval during Tuesday's meeting.

"All of in favor of this mission statement which is as follows: The Galesburg Tourism Council provides ideas, transit counsel to the stafff of the Galesburg Area Convention and Visitors Bureau regarding tourism opportunities and events that strengthen and expand Galesburg's attraction to intra and out of state visitors; all in favor of that mission statement please say 'I,'" he said.

The council followed with the request.

Guenseth says she encourages more detail from council members to be added as vision statements.

A committee was formed thanks to a recommendation from Guenseth that the by-laws of the Tourism Council also be looked into.

She says there is no clarification of member and voting criteria.
