Building back from the pandemic and achieving our long term goals means that we need these voices at the table to deepen our understanding of the current business climate and develop plans to address the opportunities and challenges," said Mayor Karen Elliott in a news release.
"I have no doubt our community will benefit greatly from the collective insights of this team as we continue to navigate the best way forward."
The group will be joined by the District鈥檚 economic development officer, Kate Mulligan, and up to two additional District of 麻豆社国产staff.
Either Elliott or a councillor will be on the board to represent elected government.
