Steve Hayes has resigned from his post as president and CEO of Visit St. Pete-Clearwater, the destination marketing agency for Pinellas County, after four years.

A news release issued by Pinellas County government on Tuesday does not cite a reason for Hayes’ departure but says Brian Lowack, special assistant to the county administrator, will lead the agency on an interim basis while the county conducts a search for a permanent replacement.
