Board of Managers
SoIN Tourism, officially known as the Clark-Floyd Counties Convention & Tourism Bureau, is a public agency created in Indiana Code. We are governed by a 13-member Board of Managers; members are appointed by various elected officials and bodies. Board terms last two years. Some of the current board members may be reappointed when their terms expire on January 15, 2024; however, there are occasionally vacancies. We want to help our appointing authorities select great board members by spreading the word about board service and how those who are interested might ask to be appointed.
Five authorities appoint community members to the Board of Managers. These appointing authorities are:
- Clark County Commissioners
- Floyd County Commissioners
- Clarksville Town Council
- Jeffersonville Mayor
- New Albany Mayor
Indiana Code requires:
- Two years of residency in Clark or Floyd County prior to appointment;
- At least a simple majority of the board members must be involved in the tourism industry;
- A balance of political party membership among the members.
Want to learn more? A position description for board members can be found here. Or call Jim Epperson, at 812-596-0067 to discuss board service.
If you’re interested in serving, you can contact the mayors of Jeffersonville or New Albany, the Town Council of Clarksville or the County Commissioners of either county. Or complete the form found here and send it to Jim Epperson at Jim@GoSoIN.com. We will forward your information to any appointing authority eligible to appoint you.
