WVIK, Quad Cities NPR | By Herb Trix

Published May 30, 2018 at 3:06 PM CDT

A staff member will serve as head of the Quad Cities Convention and Visitors Bureau after Joe Taylor steps down. Wednesday the board of the bureau announced it has appointed Lynn Hunt as the Interim President and CEO.

Hunt began working for the tourism organization 14 years ago and has served as Vice President of Sales for more than ten years.

The convention and visitors bureau has created a search committee for a new president and CEO. And it hired a company called, "SearchWide" to find applicants.

Taylor's last day will be Friday.
