Preserving history and leaving things better than the way you found them is what Jack Cohen, CEO and president of the Butler County Tourism & Convention Bureau (BCTCB), has done for over 20 years.

Now, he said it’s time to hand over the reins as he on April 25 announced his retirement, which will take effect on July 31, 2024.

“It’s been an honor and pleasure working with all of our members and staff to grow tourism in Butler County,” Cohen said. “I am proud of the many accomplishments and successes over the years working together with our members, business partners, community, staff and government leaders. I look forward to working with Amy not only to ensure a smooth transition, but also to help position the bureau and Butler County for the future.”
