The Board of Directors of the Belleville Downtown Improvement Area welcomes Marijo Cuerrier as their new Executive Director. Cuerrier brings over 15 years of experience specifically in destination tourism marketing to the position, most recently as CEO for Dtour Creative. Over the past 6 months she has also been a part-time employee with the BDIA as the Media & Communications Coordinator and has been instrumental in spearheading many changes in our communications and marketing for Downtown Belleville.
“Since moving to Belleville 15 years ago I have had a desire to see the Downtown thrive. With a new Board of Directors in place and a new strategic plan in development, I believe a sound foundation has been laid for success. I am thrilled to be a part of this next stage of growth” stated Marijo.
Cuerrier has a passion to help Downtown Belleville succeed. Her leadership has been reflected in everything she has undertaken to date and we’re pleased to have her join us at the BDIA in a fulltime capacity. Her goal, and ours, is to help build a strong, healthy and vibrant community. Downtown Belleville is well positioned as a destination of choice for shopping, dining, café-hopping and entertainment for local residents and visitors alike. Together, we expect to become a part of something extraordinary as we grow.
“During these past 3 months the BDIA has undergone a significant change in direction and Marijo has been an integral part of that transition. Despite the many challenges we sent her way, often with short timelines, she has risen to every challenge. The Board has offered their full support for Marijo joining us as our new Executive Director and we’re looking forward to her contribution as a leader within of our team. There is something very exciting happening in Downtown Belleville. Please join me in congratulating Marijo on her new role with the BDIA” stated Chair Kathryn Brown.
