Applicants Sought for Tourism Council Appointments

The Fremont County Board of Commissioners is soliciting letters of interest from Fremont County residents for the annual appointment to two positions on the Fremont County Tourism Council (FCTC). The Tourism Council develops and administers a Tourism Marketing Plan for Fremont County utilizing the proceeds from the Fremont County Lodging Tax.

Each position is for a three year term beginning January 1, 2009. One position is currently vacant as the result of the September resignation of Danny DeGeorge of Yogi Bear Campground. The other position is currently held by Ryan McCallister of Kwik Stop and Subway Food Stores. McCallister is eligible for reappointment.

Employment or ownership in a tourism related business will be a determining factor in the appointment by the Commissioners.

FCTC members are required to attend monthly meetings as well as any special meetings as voted upon by the council. Periodic attendance at other community meetings pertaining to tourism issues may also be necessary. These positions involve voluntary service with no compensation.

Letters of interest should be addressed to the Fremont County Board of Commissioners, Room 105, Fremont County Administration Building, 615 Macon Avenue, Canon City, CO 81212. The deadline for letters is 4 p.m., Friday, November 28th.
