Program Background
As part of its ongoing commitment to advancing equity and closing disparities in the industry, IEDC launched the Equity in Economic Development Fellowship Program in 2022. The fellowship provided 6 diverse young people interested in economic development the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field, and to spend the summer working with a local EDO to advance substantive and impactful projects in their communities. IEDC hopes to provide 6 to 12 more diverse young people interested in the field of economic development with this opportunity for its second cohort in the summer of 2023.
Objectives of the Fellowship Program include:
- Connecting diverse young people with opportunities and hands-on experiences in economic development with the hope of developing their long-term interest in the industry.
- Increasing the number of diverse young people in the economic development industry.
- Expanding the diversity of IEDC members, board members and economic development leaders.
- Addressing historic racial injustice and advancing social equity in the economic development industry.
