Mobile Chamber Accredited By IEDC

The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) has announced that the Mobile Chamber has been recognized as one of 94 economic development organizations nationwide and the only organization in Alabama accredited by IEDC as an Accredited Economic Development Organization (AEDO). The AEDO program is a comprehensive peer-review process that measures economic development organizations against commonly held standards in the profession. The program consists of two phases: a documentation review and an onsite visit. Each phase is designed to evaluate information about the structure, organization, funding, programs and staff of the candidate economic development organization. Maintenance of the AEDO status is required every three years and accomplished through documentation submission and/or onsite visits by an AEDO subcommittee team.
