EDR’s Mark Pope, Trey Cash, and Julie Graham are attending the North Carolina Economic Development Association’s 2nd Annual Practitioner Workshop, joining local, regional, and statewide economic developers for a full day of skill-building, expert-led sessions, and valuable networking.
This hands-on workshop is offering valuable learning opportunities, meaningful connections, and practical tools to enhance the work of Economic Development Organizations (EDOs). Participants are engaging in interactive sessions with experts, exploring some of the most relevant and timely topics in the field.
For example, today, NCEDA board member Trey Cash (EDR and Green - Lenoir County Economic Development) teamed up with Dave Horne (Smith Anderson) to lead a discussion titled “Shaping Policy: Why Advocacy Matters for Economic Development.” They highlighted the importance of knowing your legislators and making sure they know you.
Additionally, this event offers a vital networking chance for EDR staff to connect with fellow practitioners and partners from across the state. Structured sessions and informal conversations are essential for building relationships and strengthening our statewide network.
EDR is proud to be a presenting sponsor of the event!
