At the WRED Annual Membership Meeting the membership voted to include all of the regional economic developers that have been serving on the board as ex-officio members with voting rights.  This will keep the economic developers from having expiring terms and is another step closer in making the board truly regional.  Also included as ex-officio members is one representative from each of the following: the Williston STAR Fund, the City of Williston, District 1,2,4 or 39 Legislation, NDSU Williston Research Extension Center, the Western Area Builders Association and Williston State College.

WRED launches a new website for its members.  Members will now include the members of the regional economic development groups.  All members will be able to email each other if they are logged into the website.  Members will also be able to add topics to the Forums section of the website and post replies.

Western Region Economic Development (WRED) is please to announce that they have changed their name.  WRED was formerly Williston Regional Economic Development, but decided on the name change to better showcase who they represent.
