Graduates of this year’s Georgia Academy for Economic Development represented a number of professional and nonprofessional economic development fields, including elected officials, public servants, business leaders, educators and social service providers from 13 counties in Northwest Georgia.

“One of the goals for the multi-day regional Academies is to encourage multi-county cooperation,” said Saralyn Stafford, executive director of the Georgia Academy for Economic Development. “Many times the participants discover the issues facing their community are the same as those facing other communities in their region, and can then combine limited resources to address the issue.”

The next Region One Georgia Academy for Economic Development will begin in February 2010. For more information, contact Leamon Scott at 706-234-4571 or by e-mail at leamon.scott@dca.ga.gov.
