Beverly Advisory Council

The Beverly Advisory Council is a group of community and business leaders interested in the Hearth’s exploration of Beverly, Massachusetts as a potential site for the future Community Art Hotel.

This volunteer group meets twice a year to advise the Executive Director and the Board of Directors in regards to Beverly. In addition, they receive and review quarterly reports about progress in the city.
