Global Spectrum, the newly named operators of Historic Boardwalk Hall and the Atlantic City Convention Center, named Fran Rodowicz as the venues’ new general manager, effective immediately.
Rodowicz, a 15-year veteran of the facility management industry, comes to Boardwalk Hall and the Atlantic City Convention Center after spending more than seven years as GM of the Global Spectrum-managed Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University in Philadelphia. In his role at Liacouras Center, Rodowicz was responsible for booking concerts, sporting events and family shows and overseeing all departments in the day-to-day operations of the 10,000-seat arena.
“Atlantic City is a very important account for Global Spectrum,” said Global Spectrum Chief Operating Officer John Page. “Fran brings a tremendous amount of experience in similar-size venues to help lead our charge in bringing new and exciting opportunities to Atlantic City. Global Spectrum is excited to bring our high level of quality customer service to Boardwalk Hall and the Atlantic City Convention Center. We are confident that Fran will help make both of these venues the pride of the region and a destination for all in South Jersey.”
John Palmieri, executive director of the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, added, “We have been impressed by Global Spectrum’s ability to attract innovative, results-minded team players. Fran Rodowicz has a successful track record and we are glad to have his experience, energy and talents working for Atlantic City.
The CRDA selected Global Spectrum as the management and marketing firm for Boardwalk Hall and Atlantic City Convention Center effective January 1, 2014.
