After an exciting promotional career, Suzen Brasile has announced plans to retire from the City of Pismo Beach Conference & Visitors Bureau, effective June 30, 2015.
“As I transition to a new phase, I plan to stay active in this community that I love and stay connected to many of the wonderful people that I have had the privilege of working with at Pismo Beach City Hall,” Brasile said.
For the past 17 years, she has been known as the smiling face of Pismo Beach with locals, peers and tourism professionals alike. In 1998, Brasile was serving as the City of Solvang Executive Director when she was asked to join the Pismo Beach staff. Since then, she continued to increase overnight stays and visitor expenditures, while establishing Pismo Beach as a world-class tourism destination.
“Suzen has been extremely successful keeping everyone working together with common purpose, consistently focusing on promoting everything good about the City of Pismo Beach and giving guests from all over the world reason to stay in our outstanding lodging facilities,” said Pismo Beach CVB Board Chairman, Gordon Jackson. “Suzen has had many success stories, but one of my favorites was the first time the City of Pismo Beach achieved monthly Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues of over $1,000,000 – quite an accomplishment!”
