Kimberley Wray has tendered her resignation as vice president of marketing for the
High Point Market Authority due to "personal and family reasons." She will continue in the position through June.
Wray has held the position since July 2006.
"Kim joined our management team shortly after I came on board," said Brian Casey, president and CEO. "Her writing skills and deep knowledge of our industry have been invaluable to us over the last four years. Beyond that, all of us here at the Authority have enjoyed working with her, and we wish Kim the very best in her future endeavors.
Prior to joining the Market Authority, Wray was vice president of marketing and communications for the
Connie Post Cos. for seven years. She had also been vice president of marketing for Majec, a sister company to
Gefen Productions, and she'd been editorial director of the former
High Points Magazine and a group editor of
HFN.
My tenure with the Market Authority has been exceptionally rewarding, both personally and professionally, Wray said. Under the leadership of Brian Casey, we have been effective not only in meeting our competitive challenges, but also in successfully expanding our outreach during an economic downturn of historic proportions."
Casey said the Market Authority has already started efforts to fill the position.
"We expect to have a new person in place sometime this summer," Casey said. "As the marketing plan for our fall 2010 event is already in place and our overall strategy encompasses our needs for the next couple of years, we expect a smooth and effective transition."
