Currently\, his work around positioning destination organizations as a shared value in each of their communities and speaking with a new lexicon based on the emotion-driven by those values has made him one of the leading voices of the travel industry. \nDuring his previous tenure with Choose Chicago\, Johnson played a leading role in the extensive reforms of the McCormick Place Convention Center and the Chicago Convention & Tourism Bureau\, resulting in a new convention center operating model with both a travel industry and a citywide civic perspective. Johnson was integrally involved in the merger of the Chicago Convention & Tourism Bureau and the Chicago Office of Tourism\, resulting in maximizing their resources\, unifying the message and embedding the organization into the city’s economic development strategy.

SUMMARY:OACVB Educational Luncheon and Board Meeting
DESCRIPTION: Educational Luncheon 12:30-1:30PM\nRecently\, Short Term Rentals have been a concern for CVB’s because of the lodging tax dollars that are being left uncollected by rentals through platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO. These uncollected dollars are difficult to quantify. The OACVB Executive Committee is negotiating with companies that can provide the data needed to make the case to the state legislature that this needs to be fixed. If successful\, the STR tax could generate millions of marketing dollars for CVB’s\, Counties and Municipalities across the state. \nAttend the February 24 Educational Luncheon to ensure your voice is heard and to help to determine the next steps that OACVB takes to secure STR data for the state and your CVB. \n Lunch will be provided. \n 1:30- 3:30 p.m. Board Meeting\nPlease plan to stay for the board meeting immediately following the educational luncheon. All OACVB members are OACVB board members. There is no cost to attend just the board meeting.
