Board of Directors
PACGDC's mission is to strengthen our communities for future generations by creating partnerships, leveraging resources, and being a catalyst in identifying and supporting community needs. Board members help steward funds generated through Wild Rose Casino operations and make decisions that impact communities throughout Palo Alto County. Board service requires preparation, thoughtful and impartial decision-making, regular meeting attendance, participation in the annual grant review process, and adherence to PACGDC policies, including conflict-of-interest requirements.
