The
Convention and Visitors Bureau of Delaware
County has decided to pull out of the Brandywine
Valley Group Tour Program, which they have
shared responsibility with the Chester County
Visitors Bureau in the past. Group tour
sales will now be solely managed by Chester
County under the direction of Greg Edevane,
Vice President of Sales and Marketing and
Nina Kelly, Director of Special Projects.
Brenda Keller, the Brandywine Valley Program
Sales Manager will be managing motor coach
group sales at the Inn at Chester Springs
as of July. Congratulations Brenda on your
new position!
The Visitors Bureau would like to
thank Brenda Keller for her past three years
of service. Brenda has done an outstanding
job, and will be a great addition to the
Inn at Chester Springs.

Katie
Walker will soon celebrate her one year
anniversary as President of the Chamber
of Commerce of Greater West Chester.
Having relocated from Delaware County,
Katie entered her position with energy
and enthusiasm and quickly became a welcomed
addition to not only the Chamber but to
the community at large. Katie is
a member of the West Chester Rotary and
she also serves on the Board of Directors
for the West Chester Business Improvement
District. Outside of the office,
Katie is working on her MBA, which she
will complete in October. We are
proud to have Katie serving as President
of the Chamber and are happy to also call
her our friend.
