ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION PROCESS IMPROVEMENT ROLL-OUT WORKSHOP 2

Repost from EDA Invitation

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION PROCESS IMPROVEMENT ROLL-OUT

(For Coastal and Northern California, Nevada, Washington, Alaska, Oregon, and Idaho)

On August 20, from 1:30-4:30pm, EDA will introduce its new Process Improvement Plan.  This new grant processing program will go into effect on October 1, 2010.  As an attendee, this session will offer you the opportunity to learn about the new grant processing system, and ask questions about how the new system will impact your communities.  One of the goals of the new system is to make the process more competitive and provide applicants with much faster feedback on their request for funding. 

As we roll out the Process Improvement Plan, please join us in welcoming EDA’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Regional Affairs, Ms. Kristine Lee Leiphart, along with Ms. Angela Martinez, EDA’s Senior Advisor and Director of Outreach.

EDA has been in the Economic Development business for more than four decades, and with EDA’s new leadership, we are working towards enhancing our abilities to continue providing top quality service in the field of local Economic Development, and job creation.
