On May 2, 2021, the City Council adopted recommendations to create a new economic development corporation to support and enhance the work of the City of Dallas Office of Economic Development. To learn more about the City’s current economic development efforts please read the City of Dallas 2022-2032 Economic Development Policy, found here.
The purpose of the Corporation is to support business development and serve as a public developer within the city of Dallas. The Corporation will be overseen by a 15-member Board of Directors who will contribute to the new organization’s success by representing a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, geographies, and areas of expertise with the highest level of integrity and dedication to Dallas.
Initial Directors will serve an initial term of two-, three-, or four years and are eligible for reappointment for three-year terms. No director may serve for more than 8 consecutive years. Directors do not receive a salary or compensation for their services but are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred during official duties as a Director. Directors may be subject to a background check prior to confirmation.
If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else to the Board of Directors, please fill out the information below to submit an individual for consideration for the Corporation’s inaugural board. If you are nominating more than one individual, please use one form per person. All nominated persons will be considered by a nomination committee that will present an initial slate of candidates to the City Council for approval in the spring of 2022.
All nominations are due by 11:59 pm on Saturday, April 30.
Additional information including the Corporation’s bylaws and certificate of formation is available here.
