SUMMARY:IEDC Conference
DESCRIPTION:2018 Annual Conference\nSeptember 30 – October 3\, 2018 | Atlanta\, GA \nIn communities across the globe\, there is a shared dream – one where every person has the opportunity to reach their fullest productive potential regardless of race\, ethnicity\, gender\, income\, background\, or geography. Indeed\, we are surrounded by neighbors who are facing significant barriers from fulfilling their dreams. How can we do better in helping all of the people living in our communities who would like to participate in the surrounding economy find a means to do so? How can we as economic developers work with our other community partners in helping to address these barriers? And how can we be more intentional about developing\, recruiting\, and expanding economic activities that would enable a community’s people to participate in those activities in their backyards? \nShare cutting-edge ideas and engage your colleagues at the premier event for economic development practitioners.

SUMMARY:CO.STARTERS September Community Call: What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:A question we’ve been hearing a lot from our CO.STARTERS community is “What’s next?” What’s next for our starters? What’s next for our local community? What’s next from CO.STARTERS? We’ve realized that the answer is not a one-size-fits-all approach. As CO.STARTERS changes and grows\, part of that change is developing new ways to support you better on the local level. In our September Community Call\, we’ll be sharing some of the ways we’re evolving (including our entire philosophy of how we engage communities)\, as well as new supports for current programs we’ll be rolling out in the coming months. We also will have an opportunity to hear from you—our community—to learn what you want from us. \n
