Marketing and Events Advisory Committee-History
History
In November of 2011, Town of Eagle voters approved a hotel room tax dedicated to market town amenities and create events to improve the town’s economy. The Board of Trustees formed the Marketing and Events Advisory Committee (MEAC) and hired a staff member to coordinate activities. The Committee is a diverse collection of business and community members. The town is now poised to market the town effectively. The MEAC committee has been charged with sponsoring events to attract visitors to the community. The Committee welcomes discussion and proposals from promoters to sponsor events in the Town of Eagle.
Purpose
To enhance the economy of the Town of Eagle by emphasizing its desirability as a year-round travel and recreation destination to visitors who appreciate and respect Eagle’s character and resources.
Mission
The Marketing & Advisory Committee (MEAC) works to strengthen the sense of community among Eagle residents by balancing a high quality of life with a vibrant local business environment. Serving in a sponsorship capacity, MEAC allocates funding to events and programs that celebrate and protect Eagle’s unique character, traditions, and resources. The committee advises the Special Events Manager, Town Council, and Town Manager on events that align with these objectives.
