The EDC is pleased to announce the promotion of Stacey Putnam Ross to Senior Vice President, Communications & Marketing.

Since 2020, Stacey has led the EDC's communications and marketing efforts, including collateral development, branding, digital strategy, executive messaging, and media relations. She also serves as Communications Director for the EDC's largest annual event, the MO Cowbell Marathon, which attracts over 5,000 athletes to St. Charles County each October. In 2023, she received the President's Award from the Missouri Economic Development Council.

"Stacey's expertise has been instrumental in elevating the EDC’s online presence and strengthening our communications strategy," said EDC President & CEO Scott J. Drachnik.

In her new, expanded role, she will continue overseeing communications and marketing efforts while taking on greater strategic leadership in shaping messaging, outreach, and brand development.
