Welcome to the Desert Communities Employer Advisory Council (DCEAC) web site! The DCEAC is comprised of private and public sector employers working in association with the Employment Development Department (EDD) and the local business community in the Coachella Valley, Palo Verde Valley and Morongo Basin. Our goal is to promote a better working relationship with EDD and the Workforce Development Center in our area, to network with one another, and to provide continuing educational information to our members and the community at large.
Please signup as a member on our DesertEAC.com website and RSVP for our monthly meetings there.
Every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 8:30am, we have in person educational seminars at the EDD office in Indio. Join us to learn more about California and Federal laws and mandates from terrific speakers.
