Lynn Osmond, who over 25 years increased the visibility and funding of the Chicago Architecture Center, will become the next president and CEO of the city’s tourism agency, officials said Wednesday.
Osmond was given a four-year contract to lead Choose Chicago, an organization battered by revenue losses and staff cuts during the pandemic. With business and leisure travel exhibiting pent-up demand, Osmond said she looks forward to marketing Chicago for its special assets from its lakefront and cultural institutions to its neighborhood restaurants and music clubs.
