Action Teams

Action Teams are the backbone of the Platte County Economic Development Council (PCEDC). Team members, all volunteers from our pool of investors, help to advance the mission of our organization and, in turn, help to improve the viability of our community as a whole. Serving on a PCEDC Action Team represents an excellent opportunity for our investors to become fully engaged in the organization, have a hand in local community issues, and reap full benefits of their investment.

To see when upcoming action team meetings are scheduled check out our events page.
If you are a PCEDC Investor and you would like to join an action team please contact Diane Jones.
