Lodging Tax Advisory Commission Seeks New Hotel Members

The City of Redmond, Washington, has announced that it is seeking new members for its Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) due to two immediate openings and an additional position becoming available after July 1. This committee is instrumental in advising the City Council on strategies to boost tourism in Redmond, which includes making recommendations for special events and matching grants. Candidates for the LTAC should represent businesses that are required to collect lodging tax, particularly those involved in hotel management, and should have a vested interest in tourism-related activities. The committee consists of seven volunteer members who typically meet quarterly, and members serve four-year terms. The City encourages interested individuals to apply via the City’s website, providing a resume and an optional letter of interest.

Although there is no official deadline for applications, those interested are encouraged to apply by 5 p. m. on May 5, 2024, as positions will remain open until filled. This initiative reflects the City’s commitment to enhancing its tourism sector and engaging the community in local governance. For more details, potential applicants can reach out to the city's economic development and tourism program administrator.
