Hometown Advocate
Jamie Null is a storyteller. She is a native of southern West Virginia and began her career crafting stories about the people and places of Mercer County. Those stories opened doors and, in 2014, she became the executive director for the Mercer County Convention and Visitors Bureau. She’s led the organization through a successful rebrand, shined a light on the ATV tourism industry in southern West Virginia, and brought economic tourism to the table in the region.
Her tourism campaigns featuring the county as an outdoor adventure destination, have done wonders for the region, and have won multiple advertising awards from West Virginia Tourism. In recent years, the county has seen increased visitor spending, more traffic at Mercer County’s state parks, and a high increase in ATV visitation from all areas of the country. A former award-winning West Virginia newspaper journalist, Null made a commitment to tourism and the people of West Virginia. She is the creative driving force for the CVB, while also reminding others that tourism is an economic driver not only for Mercer County, but the entire Mountain State. She also currently serves as secretary of the West Virginia Association of Convention & Visitors Bureaus and on various other boards in Mercer County.
