Board & Governance

As of January 1, 2026, the Seneca County Collaborative operates under a unified governance structure that aligns economic development, business support, downtown revitalization, and tourism under a single strategic vision.

The organization is governed by one Board of Trustees, which provides fiduciary oversight, strategic leadership, and long term direction for the Collaborative and all of its divisions. This unified board ensures coordinated decision making, accountability, and organizational alignment across the full scope of the Collaborative’s work.

The Board of Trustees is supported by three advisory boards that represent the Collaborative’s core areas of focus:

• Seneca Regional Chamber & Development Board

• Downtown Development Board

• Seneca County Tourism Board

Each advisory board is composed of leaders from the business community, local government, education, and partner organizations who bring expertise, perspective, and community insight to their respective areas.

Designated representatives from each advisory board serve on the Board of Trustees, ensuring that the priorities, insights, and needs of each division are fully integrated into the Collaborative’s overall strategy. This structure strengthens collaboration, maintains strong connections to local stakeholders, and supports informed decision making across all areas of impact.

This governance model allows the Seneca County Collaborative to advance a cohesive, countywide approach to economic growth, business success, downtown vitality, and tourism development while remaining responsive to local needs.
