The event starts at 11:30 a.m. at the Radisson Hotel Cincinnati Riverfront.
“The impact of the work of meetNKY under Julie’s direction continues to pay dividends for our region,” said CBC’s Pat Frew, “She is a great champion for helping to boost our population through the recruitment of tourists getting them to visualize how living here permanently could benefit them. She has also provided great leadership in helping position CVG and the Greater Cincinnati region for additional international flights and increased domestic direct flights. There is no greater advocate in Northern Kentucky using non-conventional means to enhance economic development here than Julie Kirkpatrick.”
Kirkpatrick is fresh off returning from London for the announcement there of British Airways direct flights from CVG.
Julie Kirkpatrick joined meetNKY in 2014. She previously served as the organization’s Vice President, Sales & Marketing.
