The
Marquette Downtown Development Authority announced there will be a new person in charge of promotions and events.
Tara Laase-McKinney is the new promotion and events coordinator for the DDA, and will be tasked with helping expand growth and recognition for Marquette and its downtown. Laase-McKinney most recently was an events ranger at the Keweenaw National Historic Park.
She also may be familiar to Marquette residents because of her experience as race director for the XTERRA Lake Superior Shore Run, or because she's an NMU alum with a degree in outdoor recreation and management.
