    • One lodging representative from the Thornbury/Clarksburg area to be selected through an at-large application process; and 
    • One tourism business and/or operator representative to be selected through an at-large application process.

    Based on the membership structure, applications are being accepted to fill the two following at-large lodging and tourism business/operator seats: 

    • One lodging representative from the Thornbury/Clarksburg area to be selected through an at-large application process; and 
    • One tourism business and/or operator representative to be selected through an at-large application process.

    Applicants are encouraged to submit a letter of interest and include a resume, cover letter or any other background information and any special qualifications or interests related/applicable to the mandate of the Advisory Committee.
