Colorado Springs Colorado – November 11, 2010 - On Wednesday, November 10, 2010, the Colorado Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau commemorated President & CEO Terry Sullivan’s retirement along with his 20 years of service to the tourism industry. The theme of this grand event was “Celebrating Mr. Tourism: A World of Thanks for Terry Sullivan.” As Mr. Sullivan will officially retire on December 31, 2010, more than 500 local, regional and national industry partners, colleagues, friends and family gathered to honor Mr. Sullivan and his contributions throughout his years of service.

The celebration held at Cheyenne Mountain Resort featured Mr. Sullivan’s tales of challenges and accomplishments beginning in June of 1990 and ending this December of 2010. Mr. Sullivan’s two children, Ryan Sullivan and Deirdre Campbell, paid comical tribute to their father and CVB Board Chair Susan Edmondson presented Mr. Sullivan with the Tourism Industry Award.
