McKenna is retiring from ROOST after 40 years at the organization’s helm. Throughout his career, he has worked to promote the area, encourage visitation, share his love of the Adirondack region with the world, and support national and international sport opportunities. He oversaw the transition of ROOST from a tourism marketing organization to a destination management organization; managing the impact of visitation by creating a sustainable tourism economy for the Adirondacks – economically, socially and environmentally.
McKenna announced his retirement in late 2023.
