The Board of Directors attends a retreat each year to determine a program of work for the organization.  Committees are established to work on specific issues that concern our membership and community, and include: Housing, Economic Development  & Funding, Fundraising, and Membership.

 

Each of these committees is charged with certain parameters that would focus their efforts.  The Economic Development Committee concentrates on obtaining options for ownership, researching infrastructure and development needs, ascertaining costs for infrastructure, cataloging available sites, and addressing zoning issues.  The Housing Committee looks at owner and rental housing availability for employees and works with the city on tax issues, incentives for new construction, and assistance.  This committee has expanded to be more representative of the public as a whole, which is critical to our ability to represent the interests of the community.  The Fundraising Committee focuses on the Vendor Golf event, and other fundraising opportunities for the betterment of the community. The Membership Committee focuses on recruitment and retention of the Wayne Industries, Inc.  supporters.  With broad and effective membership, economic development needs of the Wayne area will be met.

 

Wayne Industries also recognizes the need to promote Wayne to past, present and future members of the community.  An ongoing project has been to partner with Wayne High School and Wayne State College to reach alumni to encourage living in the Wayne Community.
