• connecting regional businesses, councils and industry sectors with international trade partners, financial markets and potential investors
• working closely with community leaders to identify priority activities that will drive regional economic development
• assisting local communities to identify funding sources and develop project proposals to support economic growth
• promoting awareness of government programs in the RDA community.
