Meet the OPVB Board of Directors
The Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau is governed by a nine-person Board of Directors, each of whom either resides in or represents businesses/properties in unincorporated Clallam County. Each Board member is appointed for a three-year term. Five of the seats are lodging-specific; four of the seats are at-large positions, representing non-lodging, tourism-oriented business segments. Additionally, a Clallam County Commissioner serves as a non-voting, ex officio member.

Her duties include the day-to-day office management, board and commission meeting planning, visitor information and fulfillment, working with our volunteers, grant processing, preparation of monthly reports, and “other duties as assigned”. She is the voice behind our growing social media channels. Allegra is the “go to” person for OPVB operations.

Currently, Stefanie works remotely for the organization on several projects including managing the annual Olympic Peninsula Travel Planner updates and the OPVB’s media library, as well as co-monitoring the social media channels with Allegra. Stefanie is also the web master for OlympicPeninsula.org.
