The Economic Development Professional
Why should I invest the time and effort to attain the EDP designation?
It’s a competitive world, and nobody understands that better than economic developers! Your work – and your opportunities – never end, and they change all the time. You want to know the latest trends, tools, and techniques, and to speak the language of development. You need backing, cooperation, and respect as a professional from allies who may or may not even see this as a true profession. You need to focus your limited time & money for continuing education, critical as it is, to ensure your own professional growth.
NEDA designed the EDP program to meet your needs as a professional.
