WHO WE ARE
The Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board is a private, non-profit membership sales and marketing organization which actively promotes the Valley Forge area and Montgomery County as a convention site and leisure visitor destination by promoting patronage of its member hotels, restaurants, attractions and services.
The Board represents more than 400 member businesses throughout Southeast Pennsylvania.
The Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board was established as the Valley Forge Convention and Visitors Bureau by the Montgomery County Commissioners in 1963, making it the officially chartered tourism promotion agency of Montgomery County. It was an agency of Montgomery County until 1999, when the County Commissioners voted to privatize the bureau, while maintaining fiduciary oversight through appointment of the agency's volunteer board of directors.
The Board is now a private organization. Funding comes from a combination of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania grants, membership dues and a tax imposed on visitors occupying the County's more than 9,200 hotel rooms. The Board does not receive funding from Montgomery County.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
The key to any culture’s success is strong core values, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are extremely important to the Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board (VFTCB). As we encourage visitors to #MakeItMontco here in Montgomery County, PA, we also strive to make sure our organization is being inclusive, which begins by treating all people with respect and professionalism.
To best represent Montco, we vow to continue to develop an atmosphere that supports and embraces diversity, encourages understanding and acceptance of differences, and creates an equitable space where everyone feels welcome, safe, comfortable, and celebrated for who they are.
The VFTCB is committed to utilizing local, regional, and national resources, talents, strengths, and opportunities to meet this goal. Our employees are expected to listen with dignity and open minds to every perspective – even if we don’t agree – so that we may forge ahead together.
