Leadership
The Golden Mile Alliance Executive Director in partnership with the Board of Directors is a diverse group of stakeholders: five residents, five businesses, five property owners/managers, two City of Frederick voting members, and several non-voting members.
The Golden Mile Alliance Board holds a “Status of the Golden Mile” briefing a minimum of 3 times per year to provide update businesses and residents on the Golden Mile activities. Keep an eye out on the GMA website and our social media accounts for the next meeting.
