Convention & Visitors Bureau Advisory Board
The Convention & Visitors Bureau Advisory Board is composed of stakeholders in our hospitality and tourism community. This group discusses how we will market Lakeville as a tourism destination, meeting & wedding host city, and sports tournament and entertainment hub.
This committee meets six times a year and members are approved via the Chamber Board of Directors once a year.
