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 within an hour of returning to work.”
