IEDC Training: Economic Development for Local and Elected Officials
2017-08-29 - 2017-09-01 | Drury Plaza Hotel Cape Girardeau Conference Center, 3351 Percy Dr, Cape Girardeau, MO, 63701, United States
The intensive training courses are designed as two-day classroom-style “boot-camps” that focus on the role of public and elected officials in economic development, resiliency and economic recovery. The interactive courses will provide participants with concrete, practical tools to support critical economic development and disaster resilience activities within their communities. The course content is designed for leaders in small towns and communities without economic development officials and/or any local leader interested in learning more about the economic development and disaster resilience. Course content will be developed by IEDC in partnership with the DRA and EDA, and in coordination with local economic development organizations and other partners.

St. Louis Area Regional Response System (STARRS) will hold a free training course for elected officials and department heads on the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
The three-hour training is designed to provide elected and appointed officials with a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities for successful emergency management and incident response. Local emergency management experts will lead the course, which covers:

Role of elected/senior officials in the Incident Command System (ICS) structure.
Basic organization of ICS and the functional responsibilities of various staff.
The administrative, logistical, financial, and reporting implications of large incident operations.

All elected officials and department heads who have not received NIMS training in the last five years should attend this course.
