The PCOC is governed by a 15 member board of directors. The board includes eight members at large, each of whom live in the city; four general managers of the major hotels in Pasadena; an economic interest representative; a city council member; a designee from the city manager’s office; a designee from the Tournament of Roses Association.
The PCOC is funded by earned revenue from its facilities, proceeds from a tourism business improvement district that is funded by a hotel/motel assessment, and a portion of the hotel/motel transient occupancy tax.
