Emporia RDA staff, guided by our Board of Directors policies, serves as a confidential single point of contact for companies considering the Emporia region for a competitive business expansion or location.

The Emporia Regional Development Association of East Central Kansas (RDA) carries out its mission under the policies developed by a seven-member voting board of directors, appointed by the four member organizations City of Emporia, Lyon County, Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce and Emporia Enterprises. The City of Emporia and Lyon County appoint two board members each; Emporia Enterprises and the Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce appoint one board member each. Those six board members then elect a board member at large.

The Board of Directors has seven ex-officio non-voting board members who are Emporia City Manager, Emporia City Attorney, Lyon County Counselor, Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce President/CEO, the Emporia Main Street Director, Emporia State University President, and Flint Hills Technical College President.
