This is the last week to register for the annual two-week Intensive Economic Development Training Course.
The first week of the 2016 Intensive Course will be held July 11-15. The second week will be conducted September 12-15. The Intensive Course will be held at the Courtyard Marriott, located at 2420 West Pace Boulevard in Auburn.
About the Course: Presented by the Auburn University Government & Economic Development Institute (GEDI), the Intensive Course introduces participants to all phases of economic development. Program leaders and faculty have proven success in economic development practices and techniques. Instructors represent the field's most effective practitioners from throughout the state and nation. The first week of the Intensive Course is accredited by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) and fulfills one of the prerequisites for those who wish to take the exam for the Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) designation; it provides an intensive overview of general economic development concepts and principles. The second week focuses on important issues and resources and is especially valuable to economic developers and community leaders practicing in Alabama.
