PORT ANGELES — The Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau, the tourism marketing agency for unincorporated Clallam County, is seeking to fill two positions on its nine-member board.
The positions are for an at-large representative and for a bed-and-breakfast representative.
The positions are vacant because of resignations. Both will fill the remainder of three-year terms that expire in December 2016 and December 2017.
Applications should be received by Friday, Nov. 14, for consideration at the Nov. 20 board meeting.
Applicants must live or do business in the unincorporated areas of Clallam County outside of the city limits of Forks, Sequim and Port Angeles.
“Tourism is a $218.5 million annual industry in Clallam County,” said Linda Keen, board president.
“Visitors may come to see Olympic National Park but are captivated by how many other things the Olympic Peninsula has to offer.
“The OPVB engages in many facets of marketing and has many local and regional partners. These board positions are an opportunity for local partners to help with the framework and planning for marketing our area.”
The organization also provides administrative support for the Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission, a 13-partner group composed of the chambers of commerce and tourism marketing entities from Mason County to Quinault via the northern stretch of U.S. Highway 101.
The board meets monthly on the third Thursday in the Port Angeles area, and a conference call-in option is usually available.
