A- Seeing all the ways economic developers
use leadership, collaboration, teamwork, and
innovation to facilitate purposeful economy
building, diversification, and prosperity in our
various communities.
RAYMOND GILLEY
Q- What are you most excited about in the
profession?

11. TRACEY NICHOLS
Q- What do you see as the most pressing issue
in the profession today?
IEDCONLINE. ORG/ 90YEARS | #YEAROFECONDEV06
A- Economic inclusion – we cannot succeed
until everyone in the community is part of the
economy. This is not charity, it's economics.
Employers need trained employees, and people
need jobs. We need to help people and
businesses understand that. And we need to
find ways to connect people to jobs, through
transportation, education, training, mentoring
and internships.
