Tamara Pigott Announces Retirement

After 33 years with Lee County Government, including the past 16 years as Executive Director of the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau, I have made the decision to retire. My last day will be July 8.

It has been the honor of a lifetime to work alongside you in shaping and promoting Lee County as a world-class destination. Together, we have navigated growth, challenges, and recovery, always with a shared commitment to our visitors, our community, and each other. I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished as an industry. The strength, resilience, and collaboration of this community have always set this destination apart, and I have no doubt that will continue well into the future.

I am also pleased to share that Pamela Johnson will step into the role of Executive Director upon my retirement. Pamela brings decades of experience, deep industry relationships, and a strong commitment to this destination. I have full confidence in her leadership and in a seamless transition. The VCB will continue to focus on strengthening our destination, supporting our partners, and building sustainable demand for the future.

Over the coming months, I look forward to continuing our work together and ensuring a smooth handoff. Thank you for your partnership, your trust, and your dedication to our destination.
