The Board of Directors of Little Elm’s Community Development Corporation (CDC) is looking for four community volunteers to serve alongside them, occupying the positions of those board members whose terms are expiring on October 20, 2019.

The Community Development Corporation (CDC) is a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation that provides leadership and funding for projects that enhance and preserve Little Elm’s quality of life.

The eight-member board, which includes seven citizens and one member of the Town Council, oversees and administers the use of funds for a wide variety of projects that benefit residents of Little Elm.

Often called the 4B because of the legislation that created it, the CDC’s seven community volunteers are appointed by the Town Council.

The state legislation which authorized CDCs specifies that funds can be used for, among other things, land, buildings, equipment, facilities, expenditures and improvements for professional and amateur sports facilities, park facilities and events, entertainment, and convention and tourist facilities.

In Little Elm, CDC funds are used primarily for construction projects, parks development, special events, and community improvement activities that help create an atmosphere which embraces the Town as a center for family entertainment and amusement.

Interested individuals must have been residents of Little Elm for a minimum of one year, be of high moral character, and be willing to devote time, effort, expertise, and energy to the position.  Applicants must be registered voters in the Town at the time of appointment.

Interviews will occur shortly after the deadline expires, and each qualifying applicant will be notified of their specific interview time by the CDC staff. Individuals who qualify for consideration will undergo interviews with a panel which includes the Mayor, CDC Council Liaison, and CDC Chairman. ​​​​​Each qualifying applicant will be notified of their specific interview time.

Deadline for submitting applications for consideration is 5 p.m., Friday, September 6, 2019.
