“OEDC as the Economic Development Resource for Oklahoma, is an organization of economic development practitioners and advocates promoting a competitive business climate through legislative initiatives, coalition building and professional development.”

The Oklahoma Professional Economic Development Council (OEDC) is an association of 150+ economic development professionals throughout the state of Oklahoma. In addition to our 2010 legislative agenda, OEDC supports The State Chamber’s 2010 pro-jobs Legislative Agenda.

Our members are advocates for a prosperous economy in Oklahoma and strive to be active economic development resources for state leaders. We accomplish this through:

Legislative Advocacy Committee
Responsible for identifying legislative issues related to the economic development
profession in which OEDC members can take an active roll in assisting as the Economic Development Resource for Oklahoma. This committee will work closely with the Training and Education Committee to provide the OEDC membership opportunities to interact with legislative leadership and state elected officials and will oversee the selection of our Legislative Advocate of the Year.

Training & Education Committee
Responsible for interacting with the OEDC Executive Committee to ensure monthly
membership programs include educational and/or informational programs utilizing state, regional and national association partners such as IEDC, SEDC. This committee will also oversee the OEDC scholarship program and will ensure that an Awards Task Force is formed to recognize an Economic Development Professional of the Year.

Membership Committee
Responsible for recruitment and retention of OEDC membership to ensure the mission of the organization is met with a strong focus on capturing any and all practicing economic development professionals across the State of Oklahoma.
