Our Board

City Destinations Alliance as a whole is governed by its Board as the top-management of the network.

The Executive Committee of the Board is composed of the President, three Vice-Presidents and the Treasurer, ready to act at any time.

Other CityDNA members complete the Board. The three-years terms of the Board members overlap to avoid a board consisting only of newcomers. Last elections took place at the association’s General Assembly in Bologna on April 24, 2024.
