Former Brandon Wheat Kings’ director of sponsorship and business development, Rick Dillabough, has a new gig with the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba. In a news release, the Provincial Ex Board of Directors said Dillabough will become the organization’s Manager of Operations and Sponsorship Lead.
“Brighter days are ahead, and our board of directors realizes that Rick is the ideal candidate to lead our organization into our next chapter,” said Greg Crisanti, President of the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba. “We are excited to have Rick join our leadership team and are looking forward to the success and growth he will bring to our organization as we work on rebuilding, celebrating, and reconnecting with in-person events for our community.”
“Sense of community has always been important to me. This past 18 months has presented a significant challenge to the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba and the community and I look forward to being a part of it’s recovery,” said Dillabough. “The fairs have been and always will be an outstanding education tool. I see that as being more critical than ever during this rebuilding time.”
The release said “Rick brings to the Provincial Exhibition over 30 years of business operations, sales, and sponsorship experience and he has a good understanding of our community, having lived the majority of his life in Westman. His enthusiasm for the industry and leadership will be a great asset for our organization.”
