Thank you for your interest in joining the Visit Seattle board of directors.

The 15-member board is Visit Seattle’s governing body responsible for the oversight, support and promotion of the organization’s mission and purpose.

The board is comprised of representatives from the lodging, restaurant, attractions and general business sectors with minimum and maximum thresholds denoted within each category. If a category is at its maximum, no new appointments will be made in that category during this cycle.

Applicants must be an authorized spokesperson and decision maker representing an active member of Visit Seattle. Board members serve a one or two-year term, pending recommendation from the nominating committee and approval of the board of directors. The board meets quarterly, with a fifth meeting in December to review and approve the annual budget and business plan. Meetings typically last 90 minutes and take place at various venues in Seattle. Additionally, board committees meet at different times throughout the year based on their specific work agenda.  Directors are asked to attend Visit Seattle’s four annual signature events and may be called upon from time to time to attend meetings or events in order to advance the work of the organization.

Applications are due by September 30, 2025.

The current board will vote in the new board slate at a board meeting on December 3, 2025 and the new term will begin on January 1, 2026.
