The Indiana Welcome Center, home to the South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority, is located at 7770 Corinne Drive in Hammond. (Christin Nance Lazerus/Post-TribuneMembers of the South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority board named in lawsuits against the agency will retain legal protection provided by the bureau until the suit is concluded — whether or not they currently still serve on the board.
The initial resolution was approved on the heels of a wrongful termination lawsuit by former President and CEO Speros Batistatos. Batistatos sued the bureau and individual board members including Chairman Andy Qunell and board members Matt Maloney, Brent Brashier, Matt Shuffert and Tom Dabertin. Dabertin is no longer on the board. The suit also names Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr., and Attorney Kevin Smith.
According to the original legislation, the appointing authority shall give sole consideration to individuals who are knowledgeable about or employes as executives or managers in one of the following businesses: hotel, motel, restaurant, travel, transportation, convention, trade show, certain licensed riverboats, banking, real estate and construction.
McClure said via email Wednesday the meeting he does not believe the board has determined what members may be in jeopardy as a result of the legislation.
