The managers, Dani Timm and Matthew Robinette, both have prior sports marketing experience and will travel the nation trying to attract business.
?Together, they will help their team ?Bring it to the Beach? and position Virginia Beach as the ideal destination for sporting events,? according to the Convention & Visitors Bureau Sports Marketing Director Nancy Helman.
Timm graduated from the University of Iowa and spent more than eight years doing sports marketing for Round Rock, Texas.?
