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.
