Geary County officials have announced the hiring of Raquel Cinco as the County’s new Convention and Visitors Bureau Director.
Originally from Los Angeles, California, Raquel moved to Kansas in 2019 with her husband and son. They chose Kansas so their son could grow up near his grandparents. Grandpa is a retired big red one soldier who, like many other Ft. Riley veterans, decided to plant roots here.
Cinco started her career in Geary County at Acorns Resort (2019-2022) in Milford primarily selling the Conference Center and then selling the entire resort for weddings, reunions and any other event possible. She then became the Director of Sales at the Courtyard by Marriot (now Sonesta Essential) and Geary County Convention Center from 2022-2025. Having sold both event center spaces in the county and sitting on the CVB advisory board for the entirety of that time, she felt it was the perfect next move in her career to take on the Director position for the CVB.
Cinco will take over her office the last week of February.
