International Economic Development Council is hosting a practical training course for economic development professionals led by instructors Eileen Kennedy, Maura Shenker, Patricia Mitchell, Justin Heather, and others.

The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) is the largest non-profit, non-partisan membership organization serving economic developers. Economic developers promote economic well-being and quality of life for their communities, by creating, retaining and expanding jobs that facilitate growth, enhance wealth and provide a stable tax base. From public to private, rural to urban, and local to international, IEDC’s members are engaged in the full range of economic development experience. Given the breadth of economic development work, our members are employed in a wide variety of settings including local, state, provincial and federal governments, public-private partnerships, chambers of commerce, universities and a variety of other institutions. IEDC’s members create high-quality jobs, develop vibrant communities and improve the quality of life in their regions. www.iedconline.org.
