[Mark Calitri @markcalitri]

Great leaders. Big ideas. One goal. Planning is underway for the 26-27 @Kentucky_2A season!! @visitowensboro

Tourism dollars are “bucket fillers!

Visitors pay the room tax. Owensboro and Daviess County keeps the benefits—funding arts, sports, venues, and quality of life for local residents. @KyKTIA @GreatrOwensboro

Proud to join the Chamber Young Professionals panel! Owensboro's future is bright when we support young leaders ready to build, lead, and move our community forward. @GreatrOwensboro @visitowensboro @GOchamber #markcalitri

Some leaders wear out the word "I". Good leaders know winning is a team sport. Saying "WE' did it! The lesson begins here: https://t.co/Mko4Z3p4gf

People ask why @visitowensboro keeps making giant leaps forward...
Simple... We've got young professionals who GET IT, WANT IT, and KNOW how to compete!

Owensboro is taking the national stage. The Small Market Meetings Conference is bringing planners from across the country to our city —a huge opportunity to showcase our hospitality, venues, entertainment, and momentum nationwide. @travelgroupfam @visitowensboro @GreatrOwensboro

Owensboro continues building momentum as a national music destination. Music tourism is growing fast across America, and we’re investing heavily in that future right here in Owensboro~ @visitowensboro

One of the best parts of this job is the surprise visits from living legends.

Army Armstrong — still the coolest name ever. Legendary @espn announcer and longtime voice of monster trucks and motorsports racing. @visitowensboro #markcalitri

[Mark Calitri @markcalitri]

Not about red or blue—it’s about results.

Proud to work alongside Andy Beshear and Visit Owensboro to spotlight BBQ & Barrels and keep building momentum for Owensboro.

We’re green—growth, progress, and people working together. @GovAndyBeshear @visitowensboro

[Mark Calitri @markcalitri]

Proud to see The Winning Leadership Playbook™ now on the shelves at the @dcplibrary
More libraries across the country keep adding it.

That’s how you make an impact—one reader at a time. #markcalitri #thewinningleadershipplaybook

[Mark Calitri @markcalitri]

Owensboro—this is bigger than a building.

Bluegrass Fieldhouse brings in teams, families, and real outside dollars.
Hotels fill. Restaurants stay busy. Local businesses win.
This is sports tourism—and it works.
Let’s go!!
