We bring educators, business and community leaders, and elected officials together to understand the impact of leadership, community, and economic development within Georgia communities.
About Us
The Georgia Academy for Economic Development was started in 1993 by a consortium of public and private organizations involved in economic development. The program is designed to enhance community leaders’ skills and knowledge so that more communities in Georgia may remain or become successful.
