Board of Directors
The board of directors is the governing body of the Frankenmuth Chamber of Commerce and Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Its members represent a broad cross section of the businesses and professional leadership of the community. The first and last authority is with the membership who delegate their policy making power to the board of directors. Every board member represents the entire membership, entire community; not merely one type of business, industry or one section of the community.
