Join the Board of The Junction BIA
Strategic Leadership for Community Growth
In 2018, The Junction BIA took an essential step in enhancing its governance structure by transitioning to a Strategic Board model. This shift allowed the BIA to better align with its long-term goals and create a more effective partnership between the Board and the Executive Director.
Under this model, the Board of Directors focuses on setting the BIA’s strategic direction, ensuring long-term sustainability, and advocating for community development. At the same time, the Executive Director, Carol Jolly, handles the day-to-day operations and management. This clear division of responsibilities allows the Board to remain focused on vision-setting and high-level decision-making while the Executive Director manages the execution of those strategies.
This approach provides numerous benefits for both the Board and the Executive Director:
- The Board can concentrate on broader, community-centered goals such as economic development, community engagement, and fostering partnerships.
- The Executive Director is empowered to manage the daily operations with clear decision-making authority, ensuring efficient execution of the BIA’s initiatives.
We are seeking individuals who are passionate about the Junction’s future, committed to strategic leadership, and who can contribute to the long-term success of the BIA. As a Board member, you’ll be part of an engaged and dynamic team dedicated to making the Junction a vibrant and thriving destination for businesses, residents, and visitors.

- Impact: Help guide strategic initiatives that will shape the future of the Junction community.
- Collaboration: Work alongside passionate and committed business owners, stakeholders, and the Executive Director.
