The IEDA Foundation Board of Directors is composed of a dedicated cross-section of active members from various industries, ensuring diverse leadership and insights.

The Foundation is committed to investing directly in the professionals who build our communities. We support economic developers by funding educational opportunities for them to attend essential training and professional development programs.

Additionally, to keep our members at the forefront of the industry, the Foundation sponsors professional speakers and top site selectors to present at various conferences throughout the year. This ensures our economic development leaders have access to the latest trends, strategies, and national perspectives.

In short, the Board and the Foundation’s programs are here to ensure Indiana’s economic development professionals have the resources they need to excel.
