His dedication to public service and community development demonstrates a commitment to not only promote New Orleans but to enhance the lives of its residents through meaningful initiatives.
His leadership was particularly evident in recent years as he helped to rebrand New Orleans Company and led efforts related to Super Bowl LIX’s media and public relations strategies. He is also playing a critical role in planning Sail250 New Orleans, a major event celebrating America's 250th maritime anniversary this year.
Throughout his distinguished career, Romig has received numerous accolades for his work in tourism and public service, including prestigious awards from both the French and Spanish governments, highlighting his global recognition. Locally, he has garnered multiple honors, including the Ella Brennan Lifetime Achievement in Hospitality Award and the Will Mangham Leadership in Tourism Lifetime Achievement Award from the Louisiana Travel Association.
