2 candidates apply to serve on Tacoma Events and Recognitions Committee

Two local residents have applied to serve on the City of Tacoma’s Events and Recognitions Committee.

The nine-member committee consists of Tacoma residents, with representatives from each of Tacoma’s five Council Districts, who bring a range of perspectives and expertise that focus on the City’s commitment to celebrate civic engagement and special observations. The panel oversees City-hosted events and celebrations — such as the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration and the City of Destiny Awards — by planning, reviewing, and evaluating events; engaging the community in its fund-raising efforts; and soliciting corporate and private sponsorships to leverage funds for these events. The committee consists of Tacoma residents recommended by Tacoma City Council’s Economic Development Committee and appointed by Tacoma City Council.

The City issued a call for applications last month (see “Tacoma seeks applicants for Events and Recognitions Committee,” Tacoma Daily Index, Jan. 14, 2015).

Tacoma City Council’s Economic Development Committee is scheduled to interview two candidates — Nikki Nixon and Dion Thomas — during a public meeting at 10 a.m. on Tues., Feb. 10, at the Tacoma Municipal Building, 747 Market St., Conference Room 248, in downtown Tacoma. Copies of the agenda and meeting materials are available online here and here, respectively.
