Professional Development

Member News
EDCC members are encouraged to share news through the online news form.  Share successes with other members and the internet community regarding new projects, unique achievements, recognition, education, community initiatives, collaborations, programs, and other positive news.

Mentor Program
The EDCC has established a mentor program to share expertise within our membership by matching existing member practitioners to new members with similar interests upon request.

The goal of the mentoring program is to share knowledge and expertise among its members for the betterment of all economic development programs in the state.  If every program succeeds then ultimately Colorado succeeds in creating jobs and employing Colorado residents.

The program design is left open to the mentor and new member to identify the needs of the individual.  Previous participants in the mentoring program include individuals starting out in the economic development field to seasoned professionals new to the state or region.
