Ahead of a Thursday board meeting, former Gov. Carl T.C. Gutierrez has resigned from his position as president and CEO of the Guam Visitors Bureau amid an increasingly strained relationship between management and the board.
The news comes after the Board of Directors received and accepted his official letter of resignation "citing personal decision," according to a GVB press release. Lisa Bordallo, GVB spokesperson, said the letter was submitted to the board Friday afternoon but did not know which board member received it. GVB Vice President Gerry Perez has been named as acting president and CEO in the interim until the position is filled.
"The Bureau continues to be functional, carrying on its duties and mission for the tourism industry. The staff, management and board of GVB extend their gratitude to Former Governor Gutierrez for his four years of unparalleled commitment, leadership and vision for the Bureau and for the island of Guam," the press release states. The next board meeting is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Nov. 21. mbj
