VALDOSTA-LOWNDES COUNTY
CONFERENCE CENTER & TOURISM AUTHORITY
MEETING
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
8:00 a.m.
AGENDA
They talked about
financials and events vs. event days; they had 25 events in January, down
slightly from the same month a year ago, but event-days were similar.
Perhaps someone would like to listen to the whole thing and report back on what they did?

Regular Session, Valdosta Lowndes County Conference Center and Tourism Authority (VLCCCTA),

Last week I went to the Rainwater Conference Center to attend the
Valdosta-Lowndes County Conference Center & Tourism Authority Board
Meeting.
I had discovered
the time and date of this meeting by asking at the
information booth at the Conference Center one day when I was there
for another event.
I arrived slightly before the 8:00 appointed time and was greated
warmly by
Councilman Tim Carroll
and
Conference Center Director Tim Riddle.
Being the Conference Center, they served a hot breakfast
(other morning boards have fruits and sweets but this was something
that you might get up for).
As 8:00 came there was apparently not a quorum, so calls went out to
missing
members to see if one more could be attacted. At 8:15 it was
clear that there would be no additional members coming so no formal
meeting was held, no votes were taken but an informal review of the
agenda was performed:
Update 2013-01-23 8:46 AM:
They did at least part of the minimum and posted a notice on the door.
How do we know the Valdosta Lowndes County Conference Center
and Tourism Authority (VLCCCTA) meets this morning at 8AM?
Gretchen asked when she
picked up a list of its current board members.
And did I get the right Rick Williams in that picture?
That one is
Pastor of Northside Baptist Church.
Is he the same Rick Williams who is Vice Chairman of VLCCCTA?
(Google didn’t find any pictures for Chairman Rob Evans.)
If it’s an honor and a privilege to serve on an Authority, shouldn’t
the Authority tell us who is serving, instead of making us guess?
Stopped by the main desk of the Conference Center Wednesday.
I asked for a list of the current members of the board
and was provided a photocopy of a February 2012 list.
