Meeting to be held any month of the year.

*The Visit Carlsbad Board of Directors agrees that Tamara McGiboney, Director of Sales, has expertise in Carlsbad as
a destination, as well as expertise in other popular destinations, and that her ability to leverage this expertise during
the sales process, can often make a difference between a Carlsbad property being awarded a contract over a
competing destination. Therefore, a qualified RFP not directly sourced through Visit Carlsbad is one in which:
1) The decision is between one or more eligible Carlsbad properties and any other non-Carlsbad destination;
and
2) The expertise by Visit Carlsbad could help result in the decision being awarded to a Carlsbad destination
versus a non-Carlsbad destination; and
3) Via Board-approved email format and before a contract is requested or sent from any perspective Carlsbad
property or properties, Visit Carlsbad confirms participation in RFP process with proposed Carlsbad property
or properties.
