Scott Hoffman
Director of Hospitality & Community Engagement
Scott was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and has stayed close to home ever since. In high school, Scott started in the food and beverage/hospitality industry in the Omaha metro area until the Kanesville Queen arrived in Council Bluffs. In the fall of 1997, Scott began his career in the world of gaming and extensive food and beverage at the casinos. Soon, Council Bluffs became a second home and Scott became involved in the community, finding the people warm and welcoming. Community Involvement came quite easily, as giving back just seemed the natural thing to do.
Over the past couple of decades, Scott has been involved volunteering for Iowa Western Community College, the Bluffs Arts Council, MICAH House, Celebrate CB, Jennie Edmundson’s Spirit of Courage, and the Midlands Humane Society to name a few. Scott is currently on the Board of the Union Pacific Museum as well as staying connected with some of the previously mentioned organizations. Scott has been fortunate to work in the community at places including Harveys, Harrah’s, STIR Cove, Horseshoe, the Mid-America Center, and most recently, Ameristar Casino and Hotel as the executive sales manager. Staying so involved in the community, it just made sense for him to take on this new role with the Council Bluffs Convention & Visitors Bureau to help 'Bring it to CB', which he has been doing and enjoying for years.
Outside of work, Scott enjoys all things outdoors, especially with his two Labrador retrievers, Buff and CoCo, by his side. He also enjoys spending time with his family and friends.
