The Durham Convention & Visitors Bureau was one of 10 destination marketing organizations (DMO) in the country to receive its accreditation renewal from the independent, Washington D.C.-based Destination Marketing Accreditation Program (DMAP). This achievement distinguishes DCVB as a bureau performing at the highest standards and best practices in destination marketing and management.
DCVB was the first DMO in North Carolina and among the first 2 dozen in North America to receive its accreditation in 2007. Since that time, DMOs in Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Fayetteville, Raleigh, and most recently Asheville, have obtained accreditation. DCVB received an unprecedented 11 exemplary citations in its original application and an additional exemplary citation in its renewal. This brings the number of areas considered where DCVB is considered a model bureau worthy of imitation to a total of 12 areas.
Since first achieving accreditation, DCVB President & CEO Shelly Green was elected to serve on the international Board of Directors for DMAP. She is currently Vice Chairman and will move to Chairman in 2012.
