Melissa McClure

 

While we are thrilled to welcome Linda to the team, we must also say farewell to our dear colleague Melissa McClure, who is pursuing her dreams and has moved abroad to Switzerland for the next chapter in her life and career. Melissa brought much enthusiasm, eagerness, hard work, and passion to Visit Fairfax and worked tirelessly to put Fairfax County front and center in the many national and international markets she represented for us. We will miss her very much, but wish her all the best in her future endeavors. 

 

Please feel free to touch base with Linda for any of your tour and travel questions and to wish her a warm welcome to the Fairfax County community: LHorowitz@fxva.com
