The Prescott Downtown Partnership’s executive board questionnaire sets out who may be considered for a director position and how nominees move through the selection process. The requirements include paid membership in the Partnership, a willingness to serve a three-year term and completion of a questionnaire by June 30.
The information outlines a sequence that runs from submission and committee review to interviews, a board introduction and a membership vote. It does not identify a particular year for the June 30 deadline or the next term, so prospective nominees should confirm the applicable schedule with the Partnership.
### Eligibility and representation
A prospective director must hold a paid Prescott Downtown Partnership membership and be prepared to hold office for three years. The questionnaire also limits representation to one director from each business or household.
The board is expected to reflect a range of community groups. The listed areas include retail, commercial property ownership, hospitality, banks and other financial organizations, education, arts, museums, media, professional services, real estate, residents, churches, social services and utilities.
That list describes the sectors the board is meant to represent; it does not say that a candidate must belong to only one of them. The questionnaire also provides for the past president to remain on the board as an ex-officio member for one year after the presidency.
### Steps in the selection process
People who wish to be considered are required to complete an Executive Board Member Questionnaire and submit it by June 30. The Partnership’s nomination committee reviews the submitted forms and contacts the candidates it considers most qualified for in-person interviews.
Candidates selected for the next step are invited to attend a regular board meeting in September, where they are introduced to the board. The process then moves to the Partnership’s Annual Membership Meeting in October. There, nominations are ratified by a majority vote.
Those selected begin their three-year terms in January of the following year. The sequence gives prospective candidates several distinct milestones to note: the June submission deadline, committee review and interviews, the September introduction, the October membership vote and the January start.
The questionnaire does not specify how many director positions are available in a given cycle, nor does the supplied information name current nominees. It describes the qualifications and process rather than announcing particular vacancies or appointments.
### Partnership membership
The Partnership presents membership as a way to connect with the downtown community and help support what makes the area distinctive. Its membership information points to downtown shops featuring Arizona products, historically significant buildings and the downtown square, as well as places to meet over coffee or craft beer.
For a person considering board service, the paid-membership requirement is a key distinction: completing a questionnaire alone does not meet the stated eligibility criteria. The three-year commitment is another central requirement, while the one-director-per-business-or-household rule affects how representation is organized.
The nomination information gives interested people a formal route into board consideration, but completing the form does not by itself guarantee an interview or appointment. The committee reviews submissions, and final ratification rests with a majority vote at the October membership meeting.
