Market Steering Committee
The Market Steering Committee (made up of vendors, volunteers and board members) convenes quarterly to discuss issues, prepare for events, make recommendations to the vendors, and make decisions between vendor meetings if needed.
The Market Steering Committee acts in an advisory and sometimes decision-making capacity regarding policy matters that affect the market and its vendors. Meetings are publicized in local newspapers and at the Host Tent. All vendors, volunteers, and customers are welcome to attend.
