The Visit Duluth board is seeking applications for new board members. As Duluth’s Destination Marketing Organization (DMO), the Visit Duluth board is positioned to think holistically and prioritize the overall good of the city. Visit Duluth’s purpose is to attract the maximum number of visitor dollars into Duluth’s economy in support of the general health and welfare of the citizens of Duluth and the businesses in Duluth.
