The sales and marketing process extends to local individuals in a way that cultivates their support of a bid for Monroe County to be a meeting site for a specific organization.An extensive array of convention services are offered during the sales process and provided to organizations prior to and during their stay in Monroe County.

| Desc | Tourism/Leisure Marketing: Tourism marketing and development attracts out-of-town leisure visitors who spend time and money at Monroe County attractions, cultural institutions, festivals and events, and in recreational pursuits. The leisure market creates the most personal impressions of the area because of how visitors spend their time and what they experience while here. Monroe County has significant appeal to leisure travelers and is geographically located to capitalize on its internationally known attractions.(Continued on Schedule O)GRVA's tourism and marketing division develops and implements advertising programs, collateral distribution systems, resource enhancement programs, market promotions, and travel-trade partnerships that reach broad tourism markets and special interest groups. Many programs are developed in collaboration with GRVA member organizations and with regional destination marketing partners including entities in the Finger Lakes region and Erie Canal Corridor.Target markets include:- A major focus for year-round visitation encompassing markets within a 250-mile radius including Canadian populations, attracted through digital, print, connected tv, and ooh tactics. - Family travelers from the downstate region of New York state, I-81 corridor in Pennsylvania, and surrounding drive-in markets including western Massachusetts, Vermont, and Cleveland, Ohio. These visitors are attracted through a major campaign that includes digital, print, and connect tv.- Travelers who are already in, or planning visits to nearby regions with an ability to include our county in their travels- International visitors who are traveling by ground transportation from New York City to Niagara Falls, attracted through a program called Wine, Water, and Wonders of New York State in conjunction with Corning Museum of Glass, Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance, Destination Niagara USA, Visit Ithaca, Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, Hudson Valley Tourism, Discover Long Island, and Delta Air Lines- Group tour/travel trade, attracted through direct sales programs and with the help of packaged visits that include nearby attractions, wineries, etc.- Encouraging local residents to invite their families and friendsGRVA estimates that a combined 2 million visitors came from at least 50 miles away, across all tourism segments (leisure, business-conventions and sporting event, and international) in 2024. Specific tracking of programs is difficult and research is generally accomplished with regional and state partners. Locally, anecdotal information provided by attractions, weekend and holiday hotel occupancy, comparative event attendance, and industry data tools is largely the source used to measure tourism and related expenditures. Activity indexes are used as a reliable source to help determine leisure interest and resulting business | Desc |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The 990 was sent to all Board members for comments and review prior to filing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The conflict of interest policy requires disclosure of any potential real or perceived conflict by staff or members of the Board. Opportunity is provided at each meeting of the Board of Directors for these disclosures under the topic of New Business.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a | Following the end of the calendar year, the President/CEO summarizes production accomplishments of the organization (based upon goals established in the Board approved Business Plan.) This summary is provided to the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Board's Personnel Committee for review. Additionally, once the outside audit is completed, its results are also presented to these persons. The Chair of the Personnel Committee convenes a meeting of the entire Personnel Committee to evaluate the results and evaluate the CEO's performance for the year, without the President/CEO present. The Committee then drafts its recommendations for CEO compensation for the following year. At a regular meeting of the entire Board, an Executive Session, without the staff or CEO, is held to discuss the draft recommendations of the Committee. The actions taken by the Board - in relation to the Committee's draft - are then discussed in a private meeting with the Chair of the Board, the Chair of the Personnel Committee and the CEO. The Board's action is then implemented. |
