The Nevada Commission on Tourism has a new director.
On Tuesday Gov. Jim Gibbons appointed Dann Lewis to the position.
Lewis previously was director of tourism for the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development.
He is a graduate of Dartmouth College where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree and attended the International Marketing Institute at Harvard Business School.
Most recently he had a job conducting tourism-related research for the Maine department of transportation.
The Nevada Commission on Tourism is the agency responsible for promoting tourism in the state’s rural areas.
The Las Vegas and Reno areas, which account for most of the state’s tourism, have their own visitor and convention authorities.
