Clinton School student Andrea Price attended the Mid-South Basic Economic Development Course last week at the University of Arkansas Little Rock’s Institute for Economic Advancement.
The course is an intensive introduction to the fundamentals of economic development that prepares participants to help their communities meet the competitive challenges they face in fostering economic advancement.
“This course was an excellent opportunity for me to see the importance of economic development as a means to social change. I had the opportunity to learn from the dynamic presenters and the other course participants,” Price said.
Economic developers, chamber of commerce leaders, community volunteers and governmental officials attended the course and workshop presenters included, Jeff Finkel, president of the Economic Development Council, Chris Masingill, Co-Chairman of the Delta Regional Authority, and Ronnie Bryant, president and CEO of Charlotte USA.
