For 55 years, NCEDA has provided a platform for interaction among practitioners, allies and technical experts. The organization strives to connect the diverse patchwork of economic development resources and support systems. Now that tradition extends to our digital communications, where we help publicize RFPs and RFQs at the request of our members.
Please send any RFPs or RFQs to Torsha (torsha@nceda.org). These will be posted here and also promoted in our bi-weekly e-newsletter.
