Measuring economic development in the 21st century webinar
Co-sponsored by the Washington State Department of Commerce and the Washington Economic Development Association
January 17, 2012
10 – 11 am
Measuring the impact of economic development is an art…and a science. If handled effectively, performance measures can help guide the allocation of resources, protect a program from “meddling”, avoid having outside interests redefining your program, help with mid-course corrections, and perhaps most importantly, support your funding requests.
- Learn how to accomplish these goals
- Explore options to gauge impact
- Understand performance measurement timelines
- Hear how to manage expectations
