Calling Young Professionals

Over the past several years, and with the help of a number of generous supporters, PEDA has continued its efforts to attract and engage young professionals – typically defined as economic developers aged 40 and under – to the association. PEDA is pleased to share that, at its most recent Board of Directors meeting, a Young Professionals Committee of the association was formally established.

The purpose of this email is to invite young professionals from PEDA’s membership to consider joining this committee. Interested members will have the opportunity to build their professional networks by joining their peers – from across the Commonwealth – in developing what is sure to be an impactful undertaking. The committee’s first meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, 10/6/21, at 1:00 pm, on site at the 2021 PEDA Fall Conference (though we are pursuing a remote option for interested parties unable to attend this initial meeting in person).

PEDA members interested in participating in this committee are asked to please email Josh Skopp at jskopp@peda.org to be added to the roster.
