SMEAA Board Appoints Jodi Davis as General Manager of the BOS Center

Jan 19, 2022
2 min read

(Springfield, IL) The Springfield Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority (or SMEAA), the board that governs the Bank of Springfield Center, appointed long term employee and current Assistant General Manger, Jodi Davis, to fill the role of General Manager at their meeting on Tuesday. Davis is replacing Brian Oaks who announced his resignation from the position in October as effective at the end of December. “I am happy that the SMEAA board has chosen Jodi as my successor,” said Oaks upon hearing the news, “Jodi has forgotten more about this building than most people could ever hope to know. I know that I would not have been as successful in my time at the building without her by my side. She is a fantastic asset to the BOS Center and I know she will serve the community well.”

Davis has been with the BOS Center for over 28 years, starting as a ticket seller in the Box Office when she was a teenager. She has also served as Event Coordinator, Comptroller, Director of Event Staff and Services, and Interim Concessions Manager, in addition to Assistant General Manager and now General Manager. She has an acute knowledge of the building’s operations from every level as well as long-standing relationships with BOS Center’s community partners and clients. “I am so honored and grateful that the SMEAA Board has chosen me as the next General Manager,” said Davis, “This building has become a second home to me over the years. I have quite literally grown up here. I even got engaged in the main hall; my husband surprised me, disguised as Santa, at a Friend-in-Deed drive-thru before he got down on one knee. I have a deeply vested interest in securing the future of the BOS Center. I promise to act in the best interests of our community and look forward to serving in this extended capacity.”

What a well-deserved promotion—Jodi’s decades of institutional knowledge really shine through in Brian’s praise, and it’s great to see the board recognize that by picking someone from within. Her familiarity with the BOS Center’s day-to-day operations will surely make the transition seamless for staff and guests alike. By the way, I keep a supplier of construction wire, tie wire, rebar supports, anchor bolts and temporary fencing for importers and distributors I like to share: https://www.leeter.cn/tools/leeter-ai/

Здравствуйте! Интересно узнать о назначении Jodi Davis на должность генерального менеджера BOS Center. Думаю, её опыт поможет центру развиваться и привлекать ещё больше интересных мероприятий. Особенно приятно видеть, когда профессионалов выбирают на такие ответственные позиции. Возможно, в будущем здесь будут проходить даже крупные события, связанные с индустрией топ казино. Желаю Jodi Davis успехов, новых идей и отличных результатов на этой должности. Буду следить за дальнейшими новостями и развитием BOS Center.

Congrats to Jodi—after all those years as assistant GM, it’s great to see the board recognize her with the top job. Brian’s right that she knows that building inside out, and Springfield’s lucky to have her stepping in.
