Troy Hudson will stand for a board position on the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) when it holds its 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 29, 2022.

“I am incredibly excited and humbled to be nominated by the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association to join their board of directors. I hope all Thompson Okanagan organizations, businesses and stakeholders will nominate me as a committed representative of the winter tourism market and active partner in the Biosphere Adhesion Program through my employment with Sovereign Lake Nordic Club as their general manager.” Hudson said.

Nominations for the TOTA board close August 12, with electronic voting by members starting August 30 and closing September 14.

“The tourism industry faced tremendous challenges over the past two years, and the TOTA board of directors was committed to guiding TOTA to support regional tourism stakeholders. Going forward, there is much work to be done as we reimagine and rebuild a resilient, sustainable tourism industry in the Thompson Okanagan region of British Columbia,” TOTA nominating committee chair, Frank Antoine said.
For 2022, TOTA seeks to fill eight board positions with tourism professionals representing a wide range of tourism sectors, communities, and perspectives.

TOTA board members commit to a two-year term and the board will elect board members to serve the executive positions of secretary-treasurer, vice-chair, and chair.
