Yesterday, I was down in Mt. Sterling, KY for the summer meeting of the Kentucky Industrial Development Council. I reported on a salary and compensation survey I completed for Kentucky EDpros. Not surprisingly, Kentucky EDPros lag their national colleagues in base compensation and benefits packages.
By sharing more information, EDPros can improve negotiations. For wexample, we found that in Kentucky, EDPros need to bolster their benefit packages, and that this challenge is most critical in organizations withoperating budgets under $250,000.

Some Background on EDPro Weblog
The purpose of this weblog is to help economic development professionals -- EDPros -- keep up with the changes sweeping our profession. Strap on your goggles. It's a whole new game. There are no experts any more. The only place to learn about economic development is from other EDPros who are doing it.
One other point: the prevaling approach (paradigm, if you like) in economic development is shifting from competition to collaboration. There are a lot of reaasons underlying this shift, but here's the important insight: You, your community, and your region will do better by collaborating and sharing information.
