Lori Harnois, of Epsom, was confirmed on February 22 to continue in the position of Director of the New Hampshire Division of Travel and Tourism Development for another four-year term. The Executive Council voted 5-0 to approve Harnois.
Harnois was named to the position last year to replace Alice DeSouza, who had retired. “Lori has spent almost fifteen years in the tourism industry, including ten as the International and Domestic Marketing Manager of the Division of Travel and Tourism Development,” said George Bald, Commissioner of the Department of Resources and Economic Development. “I am proud of the work she and her staff have done over the last year to help advance tourism in New Hampshire. I look forward to what she will bring to the division and the industry over the next four years,” he added.
Harnois is a 1998 graduate of the University of New Hampshire with a degree in Science, Tourism Planning and Development. She has taught tourism courses at Plymouth State University and the New Hampshire Technical Institute as an adjunct professor and was recently appointed to the board of Stay, Work, Play.
