OVERVIEW:
The Automation Alley consortium was initiated by the County Executive as an alliance of private
businesses, educational institutions and governmental entities dedicated to strengthening the
economic base of Oakland County. The membership of the consortium is made up of diverse
high technology companies from a variety of industries that develop and promote Oakland
County's technology cluster. The consortium is working together to create an image to attract
world class high technology workers into Oakland County and to retain current high technology
workers and college graduates. Membership in the consortium has grown from 44 organizations
to its current membership of 134.
Currently, the marketing functions for Automation Alley are handled by one Marketing
Coordinator. Membership is growing at a rapid pace. This growth has created the need for
additional staff to support the increasing functions of the consortium.
The Director-Community & Economic Development Department requests two new positions and
to laterally reclassify one (1) GF/GP Senior Planner position to a Marketing Coordinator. The
department also requests to delete one (1) GF/GP PINE (1,000 hour) Technical Assistant
position to partially offset the costs of the new positions.
The proposed Public Communications Assistant will assist the Marketing Coordinator with event
coordination that includes networking events, seminars and job fairs. The position will also
manage the Automation Alley membership database coordinating updates with the resource
center and web designer. They will research materials for news, announcements and newsletters
and assist in the production of all marketing materials including the quarterly newsletter, seminar
and event announcements and member benefit information.
The proposed Typist I will assist the Marketing Coordinator with preparation of correspondence
and written materials and with the distribution of marketing materials. The position will also
handle mail and telephone requests for information.
