Board members and staff used the opening portion of the meeting to introduce new personnel. A staff member introduced Alex Wall as the new administrative specialist in the administration department, saying he will help support county and municipal partners. Several board members briefly introduced themselves to welcome Wall.
Mark Pecos officially introduced Krista Coltrane as MCEDC's new marketing and outreach manager; Coltrane said she has prior enterprise‑zone experience and will restart a social media campaign, prepare municipal one‑pagers and promote available properties. "I'm glad to be here... I'll be looking to get social media out about the program and about available properties," Coltrane said. Staff and board members welcomed both additions and noted they will support outreach and administrative work for upcoming projects and amendments.
