Commissioners Janet Long's Comments
“I could not be more pleased or excited for Brian,” said Janet C. Long, Pinellas County Commission Chair and Tourism Development Council Chair. “He has been working toward this pivotal moment in his career since the day he started in County Government. Not only is he bright and a quick learner, Brian is a walking, talking advertisement for Pinellas County and all it has to offer. I was able to witness his professionalism and expertise during our recent trade mission to Brazil as he easily engaged with the presidents and CEOs of major tour operators in the country to promote our destination.”

Brian's Comments about appointment
“I would like to thank the County Commission, Tourist Development Council, County Administration and the Visit St. Pete Clearwater team for this opportunity,” Lowack said. “More than anything, I am proud of our team. This reflects their hard work, passion, and belief in the direction of the organization and the destination. We have an incredible team of professionals at Visit St. Pete/Clearwater that understand the importance tourism plays in our local economy, and who are proud to come to work every day to serve the residents and industry leaders in the destination. We will continue to find innovative ways to promote our destination and keep St. Pete/Clearwater as a top tourism destination.”
