CITY OF PALM DESERT
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
MEETING DATE: December 10, 2020
PREPARED BY: Thomas Soule, Tourism & Marketing Manager
REQUEST: Appoint Jan Hulahan and Brian Simpson to the Marketing Committee
________________________________________________________________________
Recommendation
By Minute Motion: 1) Appoint Jan Hulahan, Director of Sales & Marketing at JW
Marriott Desert Springs Resort to the Palm Desert Marketing Committee to fill an
unexpired term through June 30, 2024; 2) Appoint Brian Simpson, Director of Sales
& Marketing at Desert Willow Golf Resort, to the Palm Desert Marketing Committee
to fill Bruce Nation’s unexpired term through June 30, 2022.
Background Analysis
Marketing Committee by-laws allow for no more than seven (7) members representing a
variety of business segments including a large hotel. Since the 2018 resignation of Barb
Wagner, who represented the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort, the Committee has
operated with six active members and one vacancy. Jan Hulahan has replaced Ms. Wagner
as the Director of Sales & Marketing at the resort and has been regularly attending committee
meetings.
As the largest resort in the Coachella Valley and a significant partner for the City, Desert
Springs Resort is an important voice to have represented on the Marketing Committee. Ms.
Hulahan brings to bear a wide understanding of the tourism and hospitality industries based
on her years with Marriott. Her appointment to the Marketing Committee would round out the
committee’s composition while availing the City of input from the resort.
More recently, the resignation from the committee by Bruce Nation, Director of Marketing at
Desert Willow Golf Resort, was accepted by City Council at its regular meeting on August 27,
2020. Brian Simpson, Director of Sales & Marketing at Desert Willow has taken on Mr.
Nation’s duties at the resort and has been attending meetings of the Marketing Committee
since the spring.
Golf continues to drive tourism visits to Palm Desert, especially during the COVID pandemic.
As an important partner to the City and a prominent local attraction, Desert Willow brings an
important marketing perspective to the committee.
