DMOU: Destination Marketing Organization University · 2026-07-29 · 30 min
Fresh off our time in Portland at the Annual Convention of Destinations International, we had the opportunity to welcome Visit Lake Charles CEO and new DI Board Chair Kyle Edmiston to the DMOU microphone. The result: a wide-ranging conversation in which we discussed the upcoming search for a new DI CEO, what Kyle is looking for in the DMO sector’s next leader and his goal of continuing to build a culture of excellence throughout the organization. We also discuss the similarities and differences between the Brand USA Board and that of DI. Join us.
