The mandate of this committee is to:

• Coordinate special events and activities through a comprehensive marketing plan
• Communicate the work of the BIA
• Disseminate information to member businesses and the larger community

This committee is responsible for implementing a number of highly successful special events.  The newsletters and the website bring information and news to our membership and the community.  The committee also produces a Print Directory for both businesses and residents and last year distributed a 2007 calendar outlining both important dates for the year and providing information on our year long activities.  The committee continues to examine various promotional and event opportunities that will increase the public appeal of our area.
