TEDC Reaccredited

WASHINGTON, D.C. � The Tyler Economic Development Council has once again been recognized by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) as an accredited economic development organization (AEDO). That makes it one of 25 economic development organizations with the accreditation. Originally accredited in February 1999, the Tyler organization was reaccredited by IEDC in 2002, 2005 and 2008. Following three more successful years of activity, TEDC has now achieved reaccreditation through April 2014, which will result in 15 consecutive years of accreditation. �The Tyler Economic Development Council displays the professionalism, commitment, and technical expertise that is deserving of this honor�, said IEDC President and CEO Jeff Finkle.

TEDC was the first economic development group to be recognized as an AEDO in the state of Texas, which currently has six accredited programs. Besides Tyler, they’re located in Brooks, Conroe, Houston, Hutto, and Laredo.
