- Events must clearly align with at least one primary Truckee Core Value.
- Events must have a proven track record of engaging a diverse spectrum of the Truckee community (including second homeowners) or if it’s a new event, be a strong/compelling new program that will accomplish high local citizen attendance and/or participation.
