Overland Park’s visitor and tourism department is officially under new leadership now that Visit Overland Park has brought Warren Wilkinson on as the organization’s new president. Who he is: Wilkinson and his family originally moved to the Kansas City area from Chicago in 2018, in part, to be closer to his children’s grandparents. (His wife is from here.) He had previously worked in travel and tourism for 20 years, including work as chief marketing officer for Visit Indy, the official tourism site for Indianapolis, Indiana. He officially started his new job with Overland Park in April. Why Visit OP: Wilkinson said part of what drew him to the open position at Visit Overland Park was how well it aligned with his previous work experience and the opportunity it provides to help define the Overland Park brand.
