Board of Directors

We’d like to introduce you to the Visit Bend Board of Directors. Visit Bend’s board members hold voluntary positions in addition to the businesses they either operate or represent. We specifically seek out board members from the core areas of Bend tourism: lodging, retail, events, conservation, recreation and City of Bend representatives.

Board meetings are open to the public. In general, the meetings are held on the third Tuesday of January, March, May, September, and November (or 1 week earlier in the case that the third Tuesday of the month is the same week as Thanksgiving). If you would like to attend, please sign up for the industry newsletter (at the bottom of this page) and you will receive detailed information before each meeting.
