San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation

About EDC

Aligning centers of influence.

EDC is uniting and mobilizing business and civic leaders around strategies to enhance our economic competitiveness.

Board of Directors
EDC's Board is comprised of the region’s top executives who drive the direction of our business development and policy programs, oversee the implementation of the One Region One Future strategic plan, provide fiscal oversight, and report quantifiable metrics to our stakeholders measuring our success.

Chairman's Council
The Chairman's Council is the most influential source of private sector leadership focused on securing new investment and addressing major economic competitiveness issues that require CEO-level engagement. The Chairman's Council is a body of influence that is aligned with EDC, is invitation only, requires $100,000 per year investment, and is called upon when major opportunities and issues demand.

Strategic Roundtable
The Strategic Roundtable taps into the collective experience and influence of the region’s retired executives and former public officials. Its purpose is to align these longtime civic entrepreneurs around opportunities to improve San Diego. It is a body of influence, not a committee or board. Roundtable members contribute through EDC’s 501c3 foundation.

Next Generation Leadership
The “Next Gen” Committee is by invitation only and integrates younger C-level executives into civic endeavors by building upon their business development-related activities, and fostering mentoring relationships with the region’s longtime civic leaders.
