At the heart of the actions of a CDEC lies collaboration of the principal socioeconomic players in order to foster local development. The board of directors of a CDEC is composed of representatives elected through a system of electoral colleges representing the various aspects of the community. A CDEC then has a mission to develop the partnerships between the forces that these colleges represent and to assume a leadership role in local development.
