Steuben County CVB Staff

The Steuben County Conference & Visitors Bureau was established in 1994. As Steuben County's official tourism marketing agency, our mission is to aggressively promote the visitor industry year-round and thereby stimulate economic growth.

Board of Directors

SCCVB Staff:

Peggy Coleman – President

Peggy has been with the SCCVB for the past decade and has been in the travel & tourism industry for over 25 years, a career she began as a program director at a children's summer camp in the Adirondacks. In her spare time, Peggy practices tricks with her lasso, rides a motorcycle, and is a champion croquet player. She doesn't, however, attempt to do these things at the same time.

Danielle Roman – Director of Marketing & Sales

Before finding her way to the SCCVB in 2004, Danielle was a math/physics major in college. She claims math people are the coolest form of cool. Danielle lived in Italy for 3 years and her passion for travel fits well with her position as resident on-the-road personality. Most people might not realize it, but Danielle once auditioned for the NYC Opera. If there'd only been American Idol back then.

Dave DeGolyer – Communications Manager

Dave has worked with the public in some capacity for thirty years, although he has a difficult time admitting he's been around long enough for that to be true. An award-winning poet, Dave likes to write in his spare time and is currently working on five different books. As a boy one of his favorite pastimes was climbing trees. He never really quite got the hang of climbing down, however, or of landing on his feet. Enough said.

Erin Cassidy – eMarketing Manager

Don't let the fact that Erin is the token newbie on our staff (having only been with the SCCVB one year) fool you. She's been working in a digital web-based world for over fourteen years. In addition to Tweeting and Facebooking and Four-Squaring (and all sorts of other newfangled verbs), Erin's got a gift for belting. Songs that is! And she's part of the barbershop quartet called Affinity and the barbershop chorus called Crystal Chords. If you stop by the office and ask, she, Peggy and Danielle might even sing something for you.

Carol Keough – Administrative Coordinator

After working in the world of banking for 26 years, Carol has spent the past nine years with the SCCVB. In addition to all the duties she performs here, Carol also finds time to be a wife, a mother of three, and a grandmother of four. You might not know it to look at her, but among her many hobbies, such as reading and doing crafts, Carol enjoys participating in watermelon seed-spitting contests which is why you might see the rest of us wearing goggles around the office from time to time.
