Nevada County Economic Resource Council

If you would like to learn more about the ERC, you are invited to attend a future meeting of the Board of Directors. The upcoming schedule is here:

The primary role of the board of directors is to establish direction and develop policy for the organization. Its appropriate role is to see the big picture, to develop a long-term vision and a short-term strategy. Organizations function most smoothly when there is a definite team relationship established between board and staff.

The early boards of directors exhibited a great deal of wisdom when they determined the board's composition. Rather than to create seats which represent individual companies or investors, the ERC chose to designate board representatives from organizations concerned about economic development. The ERC has made every effort to structure its board to emphasize inclusion, rather than to represent only one point of view.

For this reason, the ERC board is composed of organizations which are quite diverse in their viewpoints and philosophies. They have committed, however, to come together around the issue of job creation, and work toward the fulfillment of the organization's goals.

This commitment to diversity of representation has created a large board of directors, but one which has a better chance of success due to its very diversity.
