IEDC Launches Salary & Demographic Survey

IEDC's Salary and Demographic Survey of Economic Development Professionals has remained the industry-standard reference for compensation, demographic, and professional activity information. There is no better source of information in the field of economic development in which to benchmark yourself, your organization, and your region. This year’s survey also features new questions reflective of our new landscape.

Follow this link to participate in this year's survey.

The latest Advocacy report, provided by Alex Rahn of Wanner Associates, is now available on the Members Only Advocacy Reports page of PEDA’s website. Please use your membership credentials to gain access.

It is with deep sympathy that PEDA informs you of the untimely passing of longtime friend and Board member, Pat Miller.

Pat, whose career in economic development began in the early 1980s, most recently served as Executive Vice President of Altoona Blair County Development Corporation. Pat was the consummate economic development professional. He was committed to the people his work positively impacted and proud of the community he served. We ask that you keep his family in your thoughts during this very difficult time.
