Members' Resources

A Condolence Policy was put in place to establish how the Board of Management will express their sympathy when a business owner or their family member passes.

A Social Media Policy was put in place to establish how the BIA Coordinator and Board of Management will maintain their social media outlets.

The Downtown Mitchell BIA has a popcorn machine, cotton candy machine & three tents available for use to Members & Associate Members. These items can be borrowed for your own business purposes (e.g. Customer appreciation event, sidewalk sale (with proper authorization from the Municipality, etc.). A member may borrow the equipment on behalf of a community organization. Please complete the BIA Equipment Rental Form.

In the Spring of 2018, Board and staff of the Mitchell BIA worked together to update and refresh the Mitchell BIA Strategic Plan. This plan helps to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees, members, volunteers and stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes and assess and adjust the BIA’s direction in response to a changing environment. This strategic plan will help shape and guide our organization including who we serve, what we do, why we do it and the actions needed to measure success – all with an eye to the future.
