During the Tama County Economic Development Commission meeting in Tama Tuesday night, Dwayne Luze offered to provide a workshop on the Dysart Development Corp.

Luze said the organizations 12-member board is backed up by 200 volunteer members from the community.

He said this type of group needs “to communicate where you were or are, things you still want to do and (then) you’ve found your mission.”

The organization is credited for resurrecting Dysart’s main street, backing new business and housing starts and accomplishing its goals through its all-volunteer force, Luze said.

He said Dysart Development follows and any similar organization needs to “listen to issues – know the word “yes” and be able to accept challenges to make changes.”
