ODC Welcomes New Director

Welcome New One Delta County- Executive Director

New Leadership at One Delta County: An Economic Alliance

One Delta County (ODC) is pleased to announce that Patrick Dunstone has stepped into the role of Executive Director as of April 1, 2026. Patrick joins the alliance with a background in both entrepreneurial ventures and state and local government. His initial focus will be on connecting with local businesses and community leaders to identify how ODC can best serve the county's evolving economic needs. Please join us in welcoming Patrick to One Delta.

" I’m honored to be stepping into this role with One Delta County and grateful for the chance to serve Delta County in this new capacity.

My background spans entrepreneurial work as well as time in and around state and local government, and it has taught me that durable progress starts with listening, trust, and follow-through. As a relative newcomer, I want to begin with humility: getting to know the communities, businesses, and leaders across the county and learning where One Delta County can be most useful.

Delta County has a strong foundation to build on, and I’m eager to work alongside local leaders and residents to help support a resilient and locally rooted future. I’m grateful for the opportunity and look forward to meeting more of the people who care deeply about this place."

- Patrick Dunstone, Executive Director
