After almost five months without an executive director, the Peterborough Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA) has now launched a search for a new leader.
The Peterborough DBIA’s previous executive director, Terry Guiel, resigned last October after almost 10 years in the position. The following month, he assumed the role of executive director of the Lindsay & District Chamber of Commerce.
Representing around 400 businesses in the downtown core, the Peterborough DBIA is a non-profit organization that works to promote and enhance commercial activities, aesthetics, and overall development of Peterborough’s downtown.
“We are thrilled to begin the search for a new executive director who will continue to lead the DBIA towards achieving its strategic goals for downtown revitalization and community development,” says DBIA board chair Sacha Lai-Svirk in a media release.
“We are looking for a visionary leader who shares our passion for making downtown Peterborough the region’s premier destination for entertainment and business. The executive director will play a critical role in steering our efforts, from beautification projects to innovative programs and events, aiming to enhance the downtown experience for everyone.”
The Peterborough DBIA has contracted the services of Toronto-based executive search firm The Phelps Group. Those interested in the executive director position can apply online by Tuesday, March 19th.
