Mr. Julien G. Patterson, Founder and Chairman, OMNIPLEX World Services Corporation, began serving as the Vice Chairman of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) in January of 2009.
Mr. Patterson has been a member of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership Board of Directors since 2008. The five year appointment, made by Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine, runs through 2013.
Mr. Patterson expressed his enthusiasm at being a part of the VEDP saying, “Business thrives in Virginia, and we have received Forbes.com’s recognition for the third year in a row because the well-spring for attracting and retaining good business in Virginia is the Virginia Economic Development Partnership. The operative word ‘partnership’ is always the tap root for business success and the VEDP takes that role very seriously.”
The VEDP was formed in 1995 by the Virginia General Assembly to better serve those seeking a prime business location and increased trade opportunities to foster increased expansion of the Commonwealth’s economy. As a state authority, the Partnership is governed by a 21-member Board of Directors comprised of businesspersons from around Virginia, each of whom is appointed by the Governor and the General Assembly.
The mission of the VEDP is stated as: “to enhance the quality of life and raise the standard of living for all Virginians, in collaboration with Virginia communities, through aggressive business recruitment, expansion assistance, and trade development, thereby expanding the tax base and creating higher-income employment opportunities.”
