“I have had the pleasure of working with Casandra for several years, beginning as she successfully launched Visit San Antonio as a private, non-profit after being a long-term City department. I was immediately struck by her drive and ability to garner collaboration and support for major initiatives (for example, taking VSA private, launching a membership organization, starting a TPID) and moving those initiatives across the finish line in record speed. Casandra is true a visionary in the DMO industry, always thinking creatively and proactively about the future. When I think of the best in our business, she is always on the top of my list!”
