This session occurred on August 24, 2013 at the Annual Training Conference in San Francisco, CA.

Aimed at new executive directors and planners navigating a CEDS for the first time (or others around long enough to still call your CEDS an OEDP in need of a refresher), the session tackled the basic purpose of a CEDS—a helpful exercise for improving quality and effectiveness. Participants explored the latest thinking in economic development and how it should guide development of a CEDS.
