We have no balance for those that have true passion for protecting what makes Ketchikan Ketchikan without a profit motive. Would it be appropriate to remove the KVB executive director as an ex officio? No, no,. I would disagree. This is about tourism and tourism board, so they come to the meetings and the board can actually engage them because they have to be at the meetings.
