New Executive Director for the Savannah Book Festival

Kim Bockius-Suwyn has been named executive director of the Savannah Book Festival, replacing Robin Gold, who left the position after this year's festival.

A longtime resident of Savannah, Bockius-Suwyn was mostly recently COO and co-owner of Enriched Business Strategies and earlier was development director for the Historic Savannah Foundation. She has held several leadership positions in many local community organizations and chaired the annual Savannah Tour of Homes and Gardens.

Festival chairman Jack Romanos said, "Kim comes to the Festival with established roots in our community and vast experience in both event management and fundraising. Like the thousands of book lovers who participate in our annual Presidents' Weekend events, she shares the Festival's enthusiasm for encouraging and celebrating the written word."

For her part, Bockius-Suwyn said, "The Savannah Book Festival celebrates the exploration of books and their impact on all curious readers. I am looking forward to working with the publishing community to attract an array of engaging and thoughtful authors to the 2017 Savannah Book Festival."

The next Festival will be held February 16-19, 2017.
