The Tahoe City Downtown Association has announced its new staff and board members. Katherine Hill has been named the Executive Director and Pam Pokorny is the new Event Manager. Both started their positions in March.
As Executive Director, Hill will spearhead the organization’s business advocacy efforts; work with officials to promote the interests of local businesses; support beautification efforts; and focus on goals outlined in the organization’s strategic plan.
Hill previously served on the TCDA’s board of directors for 12 years, including 5 years as its president. She is the owner of Tahoe Guide magazine, but has stepped away from daily operations to take the position at TCDA. She has also served on the North Tahoe Regional Advisory Council, the TBID Advisory Committee, and on the Lake Tahoe Basin Federal Advisory Committee.
Pokorny will oversee the TCDA’s events including the Food & Wine Classic, Oktoberfest, Concerts at Commons and 4th of July celebrations, which will include returning to a fireworks display in 2025.
Pokorny has extensive experience in events including operations manager of Snowfest of 10 years, Tahoe City Lakeside Movie Series, former operations manager of Tahoe Joy Festival, and wedding consulting.
TCDA also recently held its elections and welcomed new board members Lisa Boudreau of the Tahoe City Farmer’s Market, John Lincoln of Tahoe Dave’s, and Wendy Poore of West Lake Properties. Incumbent board members who were reelected are Robb Olson, Lindsay Fuerst and John Crus.
The TCDA represents members in Tahoe City, the West Shore, Alpine Meadows and Olympic Valley.
