From the Executive Director: As you know, the new contract between the Business Development Board of Martin County (BDBMC) and the County Commission was executed in December, 2013. In compliance with the contractual obligations, the BDBMC delivered its first quarterly report on January 30, 2014. The 360 page document was a comprehensive overview of all activities, programs and services from October through December. I had the opportunity to present a formal presentation to the BOCC at their February 11th Board Meeting summarizing the report and answering questions from Commissioners. Overall the information was well received and the BDBMC will continue to update the Commission, the BDBMC Board and residents of Martin County on all activities of the organization. For your review, I have included a year to date summary of the BDBMC’s scope of service in this newsletter on page 4 and 5. The month of February was a very busy time for the BDBMC as indicated by the information provided in this newsletter. I did want to highlight the upcoming Job Fair on April 9th being held at Indian River State College’s Chastain Campus. The BDBMC has secured nearly 40 companies participating in next month’s event and I encourage all of you to promote the job fair in an effort to “put people back to work”. More information about participating companies and location can be found in this newsletter. Thank you for your support of the BDBMC and feel free to contact me with any questions or comments at tim@bdbmc.org or contact the office at 772.221.1380.
