Bryan Gay, DGEDC
Tuesday, February 7, 2023
Rotarian Bryan Gay became President and CEO of the Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation (DGEDC) on September 6, 2022. Bryan immediately started a listening tour and connected with all the stakeholders invested in the success of Downers Grove. Coming soon, there will be a DGEDC quarterly newsletter to keep everyone informed. The DGEDC is a public/private partnership that promotes Downers Grove as a location for commercial, industrial and office projects. ??????
The people volunteering with the Downers Grove Rotary are some of the best I’ve ever met, and I’ve come to think of them not only as colleagues but as friends and family
