Board invites dean to present marketing plan for two-year tourism program

Board members voted to invite Kevin, described in the meeting as a dean of business and administration, to present options for marketing and business-plan support to expand a two-year tourism program. The invitation was made during new business and approved by motion; the board noted any formal partnership must follow committee procedures and require an available board seat before making appointments.

A board member described Kevin’s work as “project work, crafts, marketing and developing market plans and business plans,” and said he has done similar work with chambers and nonprofits. “He works with his marketing team to do a full blowout business market,” the member said.

Board members asked procedural questions about where a potential appointee would sit and whether the proposal needs review by the committee on committees. One member said such an appointment “has to go through committee on committees” and that “there has to be a seat available.”

The board passed a motion to have Kevin present options at a future meeting; the meeting record does not specify a presentation date or the institution Kevin represents. Board members also discussed confirming seat availability and the formal nomination procedure before advancing any appointment or partnership.

The board’s action was limited to inviting a presentation and did not authorize funding or a formal contract.
