The State Economic Development Executives (SEDE) Network, led by CREC in partnership with the U.S. Economic Development Administration, serves as a powerful convening force for economic development leaders in all 50 states.
This dynamic network facilitates ongoing conversations around today’s most pressing economic challenges — from supply chain disruptions and workforce shifts to strategies for leveraging federal funding.
Through roundtables, working groups, and curated newsletters, SEDE connects state officials with national experts and each other. The result: stronger strategies, shared insights, and scalable solutions that benefit regions across the country.
With CREC as the engine behind the network’s operation and content, SEDE reinforces our role as a national leader in strategic coordination and peer learning.
