A
Leadership Approach
Economic developers face two critical challenges today:
the competitive international economic environment and
growing local competition for ever scarcer resources. To
compete, it is essential to build strong state and
regional economic development networks and maximize
Board and CEO teamwork and leadership. This year’s UEDA
Senior Executive Education program will help you
succeed in these important areas.
Major Topics
-
Board/CEO Teamwork in Strategy Implementation
-
Non-Profit Board Leadership
-
Fiduciary, Strategic and Creative Organizational
Thinking
-
Defining, Measuring and Benchmarking Organizational
Success
-
Emotional Intelligence and Personal and Board
Productivity
A Partner Approach
To maximize the benefits of attending this course, you
should consider bringing economic development partners from
your utility, state or region. Since this course is about
how ED Board Members and ED Executive Directors can best
work together to maximize ED productivity, this is a perfect
opportunity to bring allied guests from non-profit
organizations. Together you will learn about
“best-of-practices” from across the nation and work through
case studies directly applicable to developing your own
strategies for regional economic growth. Small group
interaction between you and your partners will build
stronger relationships and help define mutual goals. And
experience has shown that once you return home this will
help you gain greater support in achieving regional economic
development goals.

“The program gave me tangible relationship building
techniques that I was literally able to put to use
