Discover Burien Announces New Executive Director, Bruce Wynn
Tue, 02/21/2017
Discover Burien is very pleased to welcome our new Executive Director Bruce Wynn to the organization. Mr. Wynn comes to us with extensive experience as the former Executive Director for the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce and the Interbay Neighborhood Association where he successfully propelled those groups into a force for economic development while forging important partnerships in those communities.
He is very excited to be a part of Burien's continued development and says "I've been impressed by how interesting and vibrant Burien has become. The boutique shops, restaurants, community resources, City Hall, parks and a host of large and small businesses makes Burien a one-stop-serves-all-town. I want to do for Burien what I've done for Kirkland."
The Discover Burien Board of Directors felt that Mr. Wynn's experience, his upbeat personality and his excitement for the opportunities to further our mission, vision and programs was a perfect fit. Currently at the helm, Acting Executive Director Denise Ferguson stated "The staff at Discover Burien are very eager to work with Bruce in the coming months. It has been my pleasure to fill in as the interim ED and I look forward to continuing with the organization as part of the team."
Mr. Wynn will be starting in early March and one of the first opportunities to meet him will be at our 13th Annual Fundraising Auction and Dinner held on March 10th at 6pm. For tickets or more information contact the office at 206-433-2882.
