(La Porte, IN) - The man in charge of the La Porte Civic Auditorium and special events in the city is heading to what he feels are greener pastures.

 

Brett Binversie has resigned to accept a role with the La Porte County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

 

Binversie will step down after the La Porte Invitational in January, said La Porte Park Department Superintendent Mark Schreiber.

 

“The Civic Auditorium has come alive under his guidance and been positioned to thrive for years to come. We wish Brett continued success in his future endeavors and look forward to collaborating with him in his new role with the CVB,” he said.

 

Binversie first began his career with the City of La Porte in November of 2014 as the Civic Auditorium Director. He was promoted to Civic & Events Director in 2022.

 

During his tenure, Binversie oversaw a $6.1 million renovation to the historic Civic Auditorium, including an updated HVAC system as well as seating, roof and lighting replacements.

 

Binversie also began the Civic Concert Series which has attracted thousands of patrons and increased revenues.

 

Schreiber said the City is now accepting applications for the Civic & Events Director position.  To learn more and apply, contact mschreiber@cityoflaportein.gov.
