Leveraging Assets, Resources, and Leadership
The GEDP has established a professional track record of collaboration and leveraging people, projects, and opportunities for more than 20 years. The strength of the GEDP is the direct result of the caliber of members and the leadership of the Executive Committee who volunteer in the effort of growing Galveston. These attributes have resulted in recognition over the years from both the Texas Economic Development Council and the International Economic Development Council.

The GEDP developed a Business Continuity Resource Guide for the Galveston business community to utilize as part of their Disaster Toolkit.
This guidebook will outline what actions may be taken to minimize the disruptive effects of a disaster on operations, understand the differing roles and responsibilities of government and business owners in private sector disaster recovery and provide information needed to develop a comprehensive business disaster continuity plan.
