William Brault
In the early 1960s, Brault helped found the Green Bay Area Visitor and Convention Bureau; he was later named the organization's executive director, a post he would hold until 1994.During his tenure with the Bureau, Brault won numerous awards for his advocacy and work supporting tourism in Green Bay.[5] Brault became associated with tourism after the local chamber of commerce asked him to assist with the formation of the Green Bay Visitor and Convention Bureau in the early 1960s.[5] He worked on developing a number of other projects in the area, including Shopko Hall, the Resch Center, the National Railroad Museum and Dutchman's Landing Riverfront amusement park.The county had entered into a contract with the Bureau to manage the Arena, which included handling ticket sales, booking entertainers and concessions.In 1967, the Packer Hall of Fame Association, a separate corporate entity from the team, was founded and annual induction banquets were subsequently launched in 1970.[1] The Hall did not become a permanent site until 1976 when its new home, an addition to the Brown County Veterans Arena, was formally dedicated on April 3, 1976, by President Gerald Ford.[4] Although noted as someone who worked within the tourism and entertainment industry, many of Brault's pastimes were activities that did not involve going out, such as swimming, fishing, woodworking and cross-country skiing.
