IAMC Fall Forum Recap Our Executive Director, Connie Stopher CEcD, recently represented the Economic Development Coalition at the Industrial Asset Management Council (IAMC) Fall Forum in Quebec. This was the EDC's first time attending the Forum, and there's a reason why. IAMC aims to cultivate an atmosphere where there's equal representation from corporate groups, economic developers, and service providers, which they accomplish by limiting membership. The EDC has been on the waitlist for nearly three years. We're getting closer to the top of the list, and luckily, IAMC allows organizations to attend one conference as a non-member.  Connie was present alongside fellow Team California members representing communities across the state. She shared the following about her experiences: "This can be a tough room to get into as you can tell, but once you're there, you're among a relatively small group of economic developers and executive representatives from Fortune 100 companies. I'm glad that the EDC was able to be there to represent the region and show what we have to offer to these companies."
