In this webinar, Alissa Sklar, Ph.D., and BCEDA President and CEO Dale Wheeldon unpack the BC-specific findings from the EDAC 2026 State of the Field Survey.
Economic developers in British Columbia are taking on broader responsibilities than the national average, balancing core work like Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) with complex challenges in housing, Indigenous economic development, and disaster preparedness. This session explores the realities of the profession in BC.
We also review feedback from the May 2026 MyBCEDA Summit and outline upcoming BCEDA initiatives, including our relaunched mentorship program and expanded resources for communicating the value of economic development to local leaders.
