Marshalltown, January 24, 2023
Marshalltown Central Business District (MCBD) announced today the appointment a new member to the board of directors. This brings the number of board members to ten. Brittany Tow will serve as Retail Promotions Chair, leading the way on the creation and implementation of a monthly retail Main Street event. We are excited to have Brittany join as an MCBD board member and take on the role of Retail Promotions Chair. Brittany has been a huge asset on the Promotions Committee,” said Alushia Fitzgerald, Event Promotions Chair. “I am excited to see how she grows and promotes our downtown retail businesses.” |
Brittany started Brit Marie’s Country Boutique in 2018, then moved its location to downtown Marshalltown in 2020, right as the pandemic was hitting. Brittany started her boutique as she saw a need to help women find affordable, comfortable and stylish clothes of all sizes. Brittany’s business has expanded to a couple store fronts, including the addition of home décor. Brittany has a mobile boutique that she takes to vendor shows.
Prior to starting her own business, Brittany’s career was in the agricultural industry, working for New Century FS, Pioneer Seeds, and most recently as senior buyer for Monsanto/Bayer, covering sites within Iowa and Illinois administering contracts and agreements with the service/product provider and Monsanto/Bayer.
Brittany has demonstrated a heart for leadership and volunteerism through being on the Central Iowa Fair Board, Marshall County Farm Bureau Board, a 4-H leader, a Trustee for the East Marshall Scholarship Committee, and a Marshalltown Central Business District Promotions Committee member.
“I’m excited to be part of the board to help grow our downtown and to be a part of revitalizing the Main Street district,” said Brittany. “I feel my background and retail experience can help with promoting downtown and what shoppers are looking for when coming downtown.”
