The front lines of recruiting and retaining businesses with EDC of Sarasota County CEO Erin Silk

  • サマリー

  • Erin Silk has been at the helm of the EDC since June 2023. She held other titles with the organization before that promotion, including COO and vice president of business development services. Prior to joining the EDC, Erin was CEO of Venice Main Street Inc., a community revitalization organization in south Sarasota County.

    Business Observer Managing Editor Mark Gordon and Erin talked about her passion for economic development and the whys behind her and the team’s mission at the EDC. They also talked about the leadership characteristics that matter most to her, and the steps she has taken to recruit and retain not only businesses — but an internal team at the EDC to execute on that mission. And they even went back in time a bit, talking about when Erin founded an animal rescue nonprofit — while in college.
