Each November members of the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association elect members of the board of directors.

This year, there are five open seats, including small lodging, recreation, ski area, real estate/property management and at-large. Small lodging and recreation are two-year terms, while ski area, real estate and at-large are three-year terms. The filing deadline for interested candidates is Oct. 28 at 5pm.

Nine of the 11 seats on the NLTRA board represent a category of chamber/NLTRA membership. Those interested in running for a seat must be an owner or manager of an active member in good standing or the designated representative of that member, of the membership category that he/she represents. According to the organization’s bylaws, one business may not have more than one board seat at a time, regardless of the number of membership categories for which that member may qualify.

For election purposes, consistent with the bylaws, a qualified board candidate must be from a business which has a primary office or location within the Placer County portion of the North Lake Tahoe membership area. The business must also have a Placer County business license.

The small lodging seat is open to any single lodging property with less than 100 rooms. The recreation seat is open to any business selling recreational services, excluding ski areas with no other forms of recreational activities. The ski area seat is open to any business that offers downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing or a similar snow sport. The real estate/property management seat is open to any business that manages, rents or sells properties. The at-large seat is a full member that has voting privileges.

Ballots will be mailed to voting members by Nov. 8, and are due to the CPA office of McClintock Accountancy Corporation by no later than Dec. 6. The results will be announced Dec. 7 at the NLTRA board meeting, 8:30am, Tahoe City Public Utility District board room.
