This quarter, the RPTA department would like to welcome three members to the RPTA Advisory Council: Cady Wolf, the Vice President of Partner Marketing (North America) for Travelocity; Lisa Mayo, the Executive Director of the Calaveras Visitors Bureau and Film Commission (CVB); and Dianne Hoover, the Director of Recreation and Parks for the City of Bakersfield and President of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).

Here are the brief biographies for each of the new members:

Lisa Mayo is the Executive Director of the Calaveras Visitors Bureau and Film Commission (CVB), a non-profit membership association. The CVB is located in California’s High Sierra and Gold Country regions.

Lisa oversees production of an annual Calaveras travel planner, print advertising, social media, media and tour operator outreach, travel shows, three websites and the Calaveras Visitors Center which all support this objective and goal. This fall, Lisa will have her own community television show that will emphasize tourism and the important role it plays in rural regions.
