Board Members

Created in 1997 as a committee of the Monmouth Area Chamber of Commerce, the Western Illinois Economic Development Partnership has emerged as an independent public-private organization dedicated to improving the economic health of the Monmouth and Warren County area. The WIEDP is governed by a volunteer board and represents a diverse cross section of public, private and community sectors. They volunteer their time without compensation. Each board member must be a resident of Warren County or must represent a business or organization having a significant presence in Warren County, Illinois, and must have agreed to accept the responsibilities of the directorship, according to the Partnership's By-Laws.
