TYPICAL QUALIFICATIONS

Accordingly, membership on the TBID Board shall be exempt from residency requirements otherwise applicable to City Advisory bodies.
One member of the TBID Board shall be appointed by the Board to the Promotional Coordinating Committee for a term concurrent with their TBID Board term.
