DMAP Board
This committee serves as the governing board for the destination organization industry's highest organizational achievement. Board members contribute to program strategy, assess applications, and approve accreditation.
My time on the DMAP Board has taught one thing ... just when you think you have it figured out, another DMO is doing it better. DMAP is the best way to learn from peers, while also congratulating them on innovations and excellent standards.
