After Christina Hayes resigned in February after 14 years serving as the Great Bend Community Coordinator and Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) Director, she suggested dividing the position into separate roles going forward.
The City of Great Bend will separate the two positions as City Administrator Logan Burns officially announced Monday night that Amanda Gaddis has been named CVB Director.
"I'm proud to announce we have promoted Amanda Gaddis to this position," said Burns. "She's been with the city for a little over three years now. I'm excited to see where she continues to take this CVB position."
Gaddis will also assume the title of Events Center Manager. Gaddis started with the city in February 2022 and served as the CVB Visitors Service Representative prior to being named director.
Burns said the city is refining the job description for the community coordinator position, and he hopes to have the opening out this month to start receiving applications.
