We’re looking for passionate, engaged industry members who want to make a difference! 

Attractions Ontario is a strong advocate for the province’s attractions sector, working to support our members, represent industry interests and help strengthen Ontario’s tourism industry. Our Board of Directors plays an important role in guiding the association and ensuring our members’ voices are represented across the province. 

Serving on the Board is an opportunity to share your experience, contribute your ideas, and collaborate with fellow industry leaders who are just as passionate about attractions and tourism as you are.

Meet our Board of Directors

Attractions Ontario is governed by an elected Board of Directors. In addition to establishing policy for the association, the Board provides direction to our managing staff and is also responsible for representing the industry-related concerns of our members within their provincial region.

Ontario is divided into 13 different Regional Tourism Organizations.  To reflect these regions, we have a Board Member representing tourism businesses in each of these regional boundaries.  Where we are unable to find a Board Member from one of these regions, a Director at Large can be appointed.  Directors serve a term of 3 years, with no limit on the number of terms that they can serve.  Directors at Large are appointed for one year.
