Board Members

The West End BIZ is run by a Board of Management, comprised of thirteen members, twelve of whom are local business owners and one of whom is the City Councillor for the area. Board Members (with the exception of the City Councillor) are elected at the Annual General Meeting held each year. They are elected for a two-year term of office and can serve up to three consecutive terms before having to step down from the Board to take a minimum one-year break. The Executive of the Board of Management is appointed at the first board meeting held in January of each year. Board members serve in a voluntary capacity.
