Brenda Newbern has left her position as the manager of Cape Girardeau's tourism arm. Newbern was in the driver's seat for Cape Girardeau's tourism since January of 2016, when she was named the executive director of the Cape Girardeau Convention and Visitors Bureau, replacing Chuck Martin. At the time, the bureau resided under the Cape Girardeau Area Chamber of Commerce's purview, with funding from the city. More recently, the city reclaimed operations of tourism and rebranded it under the name of VisitCape under the city's parks and recreation department. Newbern had previously worked at the CVB as a group-tour manager in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Before that, she was a sales manager for Midamerica Hotels Corp. in Cape Girardeau. "We appreciate Brenda for her 12 years of service to VisitCape and the City of Cape Girardeau and wish her the best in her future endeavors," said City of Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation director Doug Gannon, who oversees the tourism division. "Brenda was very passionate about tourism and played an important role in promoting Cape Girardeau as a destination for visitors, events and tourism related economic activity." Gannon said the city is evaluating options for staffing structure. In the short term, questions about tourism issues can be directed to the parks and recreation administrative office. Attempts to reach Newbern on Friday, Aug. 14, were unsuccessful. Among other accomplishments, Newbern was in charge of tourism during two solar eclipses in which Cape Girardeau was in the path for premium viewing. Thousands of people came to town, filling up hotels. Newbern also helped usher in a new era of travel sports tourism, following the completion of the Cape Girardeau SportsPlex in 2017. She was a treasurer of the Missouri Association of Convention and Visitors Bureau Board, treasurer of the Missouri Travel Alliance, among several other travel or tourism organizations, according to her LinkedIn profile. According to previous reporting, she was also a board secretary of the Cape Girardeau Area Community Foundation.
