The City of Branson is seeking applicants for two expiring terms on the very important and influential Tourism Community Enhancement District (TCED) Board of Directors. The seven-person volunteer TCED Board oversees some $10 million in tourism tax, while guiding decisions pertaining to marketing and sales functions of the region. The application process will close on July 29 at 4:30 p.m.
The Tourism District’s geographic boundaries unite the tourism community across county lines to include the City of Branson, the Village of Indian Point and tourism-oriented portions of Taney and Stone counties including Silver Dollar City. With staggered terms, each director serves for three years beginning October 1 and ending September 30. These open terms expire in 2027.
“Individuals are appointed by elected officials to oversee the spending of tax dollars for the purpose of promoting tourism to the area,” said Branson Mayor Larry Milton, explaining that the City of Branson appoints three directors, the Village of Indian Point appoints two, and Taney and Stone counties each have one appointment. “We take these appointments very seriously as every Board member must understand marketing principles in today’s ever-changing landscape of how people consume information when determining vacation and spending decisions. Each Board member must also understand finances and budgeting,” said the mayor.
The board of aldermen will vote on the applicants from those who apply. Applications and additional information at www.bransonmo.gov or at the City Clerk’s Office, 110 W. Maddux Street, Suite 205, Branson, 417-337-8522.
