Leadership & Team

At Destination North Myrtle Beach, strong leadership is at the core of our success. Our organization is guided by a dedicated Board of Directors, made up of local business leaders who are deeply invested in the growth and vitality of our community.

Our Board members are elected by our investor/partners through an annual nominations and elections process held each fall. Each Director serves a three-year term beginning in January, with the opportunity to serve up to two consecutive terms. Board members bring valuable perspectives from across industries, helping shape policies and initiatives that support economic growth, community well-being, and sustainable development. For those interested in becoming a member of the Board of Directors, the Duties and Responsibilities and the Conflict of Interest Policy are available for review. Interested in serving on the board? We welcome committed business leaders who share our vision for a stronger, more connected North Myrtle Beach.

The Executive Committee is comprised of the officers and committee chairs.
