The resolution honors Roger Jasnoch, the Director of the Kearney Visitors Bureau, for his thirty-eight years of dedicated service to Kearney and Buffalo County, during which he significantly contributed to the tourism industry. His efforts include the establishment of key community projects such as the Kearney Area Community Foundation, the Archway, the Viaero Center, and the American Automobile Experience. Additionally, he played a pivotal role in relocating the Nebraska Senior Games to Kearney in 1989, where the event continues to take place.
As Roger prepares for retirement in June, the resolution acknowledges his impactful legacy and previous recognition, including the Nebraska Tourism Commission's Henry Fonda Award for his leadership and vision in the tourism sector. The Nebraska Legislature congratulates him on receiving the Celebrate Tourism Award and expresses gratitude for his contributions, with a copy of the resolution to be sent to him as a token of appreciation.
