The EDC of Okaloosa County













EDC memberships are open to all commercial and not-for-profit organizations.

     A not-for-profit organization exists to provide a public service to the community rather than to make a profit, accrue earnings...the primary objective of the organization is something other than making a money.  Non-profit organizations typically rely on contributions (memberships) to fund the services they provide.

EDC Members:

Membership levels
þ Trustee   þ Corporate   þ Enterprise

Trustee members are organizations at the highest level.  Their commitment to the Council’s efforts, both in resources and involvement, reflect the highest level of support toward the community’s economic growth.  Each Trustee organization’s chief executive officer is a member of the EDC Policy Board.

The EDC hosts an annual fall luncheon in honor of the new members received during that fiscal year.  The EDC Executive Committee and staff enjoy networking with the new member companies providing them the opportunity to introduce and promote their business.

There are many benefits of being an EDC member.  EDC membership provides local and worldwide recognition on the EDC Internet site listings and in EDC publications.  EDC members are eligible to advertise their company and product and/or service on the EDC website banners.  There are also many opportunities to participate on Council committees and in networking activities and special events, such as…

  • Access to regional business leaders and information

  • Annual Officers' Reception

  • Industry Trade Shows

  • VIP briefings

  • Local industry tours

  • Networking events

  • Technology Coast Manufacturing & Engineering Network (TeCMEN)

Many not-for-profit organizations in Okaloosa County support the EDC with annual financial commitments because they recognize the importance of our efforts to foster industrial wealth. These organizations include professional associations, educational institutions, charities, and community services such as:

  • Bridgeway Center, Inc.

  • Boys & Girls Club of Okaloosa County

  • Emerald Coast Association of Realtors
