The DRA oversees the operational, financial and promotional aspects of the Vancouver Hilton Hotel and Convention Center.
The CCRA is responsible for overseeing downtown redevelopment consistent with the Vancouver City Center Vision (VCCV) plan, and advises the city council on the business aspects of redevelopment projects and agreements within the VCCV plan area.
The vacancy is for a four-year term. There is no residency requirement to serve on the boards.
