Patricia Jones Joins Economic Development Board
The Governing Board of the Tuolumne County Economic Authority (TCEDA) voted to invite
Patricia Jones to be an At-Large Board Member at their most recent meeting held at Kinematic Automation. Jones fills the position vacated by Zachary Britton of Front Porch, completing the seven-member board. Jones is owner and principal consultant of Patricia Jones Consulting which specializes in board development, capacity building, and business planning and strategy – primarily for California-based nonprofit organizations and public agencies. Well-known in Tuolumne County for her lead...
role in developing the Tuolumne County Profiles for 2005 and 2008, Jones has extensive
knowledge about many facets of the County, including: Economy and Infrastructure, Arts and
Heritage, Health and Safety, Education and Learning, and Natural Resources and Recreation.
Jones adds her 25 years of experience and skill in high-level facilitation, research, planning, and business and financial operations to an already visionary and progressive group, including: two Tuolumne County Supervisors, two City of Sonora Council Members, and two other At-Large Members from the private sector. “I work with a range of businesses from startups to large, multi-site operations,” explains Jones. As examples of economic development experience, Ms. Jones cites that she has spearheaded a six-county employer survey, developed a three-county marketing plan for health care workers, and created a two-county business plan to strengthen businesses and their workforce.
The TCEDA is a partnership created by Tuolumne County and City of Sonora to promote
business retention, expansion and recruitment through economic development, increase family-wage jobs, and provide a dynamic, diverse and healthy business environment.
