STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

2021 - 2023

BUILDING TOMORROW TOGETHER

Our strategic plan, called “Building Tomorrow Together,” allows us to build on our record of success by focusing on four key priorities: Economic Development; Education and Workforce; Public Policy; and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The DRC’s strategic plan is supported by Tomorrow Fund investors. A common thread through each of the four pillars of our strategic plan is our work to enhance the Quality of Life for all who live and work in the Dallas Region.

Together, with our hundreds of member companies and regional partners, our strategy is to serve as the preeminent voice of the business community and a bridge to the education and nonprofit community to drive growth, and an even better quality of life for all who call the Dallas Region home and for those interested in coming here.


Continue to drive economic growth that allows us to recruit companies and talent to the Dallas Region, and help our existing companies grow.
