IEDC’s Board of Directors is comprised of 55 voting members whose duty it is to serve as a steward of IEDC’s vision, mission, values and resources. Our board members are experienced leaders in the economic development field dedicated to IEDC and the economic development profession. All board members must be members of IEDC and a majority of the board must be members who represent public economic development agencies or non-profit economic development organizations. IEDC board members serve two year terms, for up to four terms. Members are voted into the board at IEDC’s Annual Conference, and each term begins on January 1 of the following year. The board is led by the Governance Committee, which is made up of the Board Chair, the Vice Chair, the Secretary/Treasurer, the chairs of the Board’s other standing committees, the Immediate Past Chair, and the President/CEO (ex-officio).
