Leslie Doggett, president and chief executive of the Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association, has resigned from her position, citing health and family reasons. She made the announcement late Wednesday afternoon with Edwin F. Hale, the agency?s chairman of the board.

Hale, who is also chairman and chief executive of First Mariner Bank, said that Ronnie Burt, the tourism bureau?s vice president of convention sales and services, would serve as interim president while BACVA conducts a national search to replace Doggett.
