Showcasing the importance of economic development in your community.

Economic development is the foundational work that helps to create jobs, support businesses, and improve the quality of life in communities large and small. 

This week validates the importance of the work of the profession. 

Each year, Economic Developers Alberta participates in an international campaign to highlight programs, best practices, and exceptional individuals that positively impact life in their communities. 

We encourage your community to consider hosting an economic development training course, proclaiming Economic Development Week, or organizing a special event to profile your economic development activities. Be as creative as you can!
