Message from the Chair

Welcome to our new website!!

I’m Neil Robertson and I was privileged to be elected as Chair of the IED in October 2008 and will serve until the AGM in October 2010.

My colleague, Keith Burge, was elected as Vice Chair for the same two year period and we share the vision of our fellow directors that the IED will be the organization of choice for economic development professionals.
