More than 75 people will lose their seat at the board of directors table for the Hampton Roads Economic Development Alliance.
The board will shrink to 23 people, down from more than 100.
Alliance President and CEO Rick Weddle said the smaller board and other changes will improve the organization and modernize the way it’s governed.
The alliance’s governance model was designed in 1997 and received minor updates in 2005. Weddle joined the organization in April 2016; talks about the changes began later that year.
