RTO7’s industry-led, volunteer board is responsible for providing direction to the organization in fulfillment of the organization’s mission, which is “to work collaboratively with tourism partners and stakeholders to build, sustain and grow visitation, investment, and visitor spending."
"As a board member, you will play a vital role in guiding our organization toward sustainable and ethical practices that align with our mission," states the RTO7 news release. "Ideal candidates will have a strong background in environmental social governance and experience in areas such as sustainability, governance, and stakeholder engagement."
