Holmes Joins Coachella Valley Economic Partnership

The Coachella Valley Economic Partnership announced Thursday that Indio Councilwoman Elaine Holmes joined its board of directors.

Holmes was elected to the Indio City Council last month and, as a business owner in Indio, has extensive local business experience.

“We are delighted to welcome Councilwoman Holmes,” said Thomas Flavin, the partnership’s president and chief executive officer.

“Continued, active engagement from across the entire spectrum of government, business and education in the Valley is vital to the success of CVEP’s mission and fulfillment of our blueprint program for the Coachella Valley.”

Indio also appointed Mayor Lupe Ramos Watson to serve as an alternate for its representation on the partnership’s 39-member board of directors.
