5. What occurred? • There remained a need for an economic development organization. • The existing organization could no longer service incoming qualified leads and relations with the public and private sectors had become strained. • Both the County and the City of Rio Rancho continued receiving leads from companies looking to expand or relocate plus there was a need to retain the companies already here. • The County engaged an independent contractor to produce an assessment of what needed to be done to establish and economic development company. • The Economic Development Assessment Strategy (EDAS) was the result of that contract. • This assessment detailed what should be included in the business plan, who should be involved, what to achieve, how many jobs were needed to get back to full employment and provided a matrix for lead generation. • It was the thought of both the City and the County that the private sector could act much quicker than the public sector. • Time was of the essence.

Who are the principals? • Joe Sierra – Chairman (Century Bank) • JR Allison – Chair Elect (Old Republic Title) • Jo Ann Newton – Treasurer & Finance Committee Chair (PNM) • Perry Bendicksen – Board Development Committee Chair (Rodey Law Firm) • Mick Skolnick – Public Relations Committee Chair (Excalibur Realty) • Jeanie Springer – Board Member (Springer 5 Investments) • Jim Easley – Board Member (US Bank) • Gary Housley – Board Member (Don Chalmers Ford) • Pierce Runnels – Board Member (Geobrugg) • Brian Brichford – Board Member (HP) • Liz Shipley – Board Member (Intel) • Phil Rios - Board Member (Sandoval County, County Manager) • Keith Riesberg – Board Member (City of Rio Rancho, City Manager) • Antoinette Vigil – Board Member (State of New Mexico)

7. Why are we doing this? • The region needs to replace jobs lost and return to full employment. • There continues to be interest from companies with a need to expand or relocate. • The region offers multiple tracts of land that are both private and public that can be developed for plug and play.
