The Dickinson Area Economic Development Alliance was established in 2017 to join business, industry, education, government and community organizations to increase awareness and better coordinate economic stimulus in the region.
We take a business-first approach to economic development and advocacy programs that cultivate a business-friendly environment to support businesses of all sizes.
We work to make the Dickinson area a robust community in which to do business, live, and work. We do this by collaborating with key task force groups comprised of subject matter experts from our investor business.
Board Of Directors
We are governed by a board of directors comprised of individuals from our investor businesses. Each board member sits on at least one task force group to share their areas of expertise.
