Visitors board seeks 2 new members
The Susquehanna River Valley Visitors Bureau (SRVVB) is looking to fill two vacancies on its 12-member board of directors. These vacancies have been created by board directors who have recently accepted jobs outside of the region.
Three board directors are from each of the counties represented by the SRVVB: Snyder, Northumberland and Union, with the remaining three positions as "floating" positions that can be filled by an individual from any of the three counties served by the SRVVB. Directors are eligible to serve two three-year terms, which begin July 1.
Per bylaws, a director must be an employee, agent or servant of a member firm, business or member organization, or reside in the county they are representing. They are expected to support the SRVVB, its goals and objectives throughout the tri-county region; attend monthly meetings held at 8 a.m. the second Wednesday of the month at the Susquehanna River Valley Visitors Bureau in Lewisburg; attend the annual membership meeting and dinner each spring and are encouraged to participate in committees and attend key industry functions and events
