IEDC recognizes the value of both nurturing and engaging with students, emerging leaders and those newer to the field to ensure a bright future for the economic development profession. For the first time ever, we offered three scholarship opportunities for students, emerging leaders, and first-time conference attendees at our 2023 Annual Conference in Dallas, TX.

This past year, we were able to provide 80 scholarships. To continue this important initiative, we're asking you for support with our efforts. Please donate what you wish, with the option to cover the full cost of a basic conference registration.
