سكرامنتو ، كاليفورنيا Greater Sacramento Economic Council won a Gold Rank for its The Greater Sacramento Talent Story, a project in the category of Print Brochure of the International Economic Development Council (IEDC).  The honor was presented today at an awards ceremony during the IEDC Annual Conference, which is currently underway.

IEDC’s Excellence in Economic Development Awards recognize the world’s best economic development programs and partnerships, marketing materials, and the year’s most influential leaders. 35 award categories honor organizations and individuals for their efforts in creating positive change in urban, suburban, and rural communities. Awards are judged by a diverse panel of economic and community developers from around the world, following a nomination process held earlier this year. IEDC received over 500 submissions from 4 countries.

The Greater Sacramento Talent Story was launched as a response to feedback from brokers, site selectors and other business location decision makers requesting third-party validation of data sets regarding talent in the region. Following discussions with partners at the CBRE Sacramento office, the groups joined forces and each offered their staff members to research, write, design and produce a joint research and marketing report.

The report was delivered in August 2019 in time for a public rollout event to local constituents, packing a luncheon event at full capacity of 150 attendees. The attendees heard a brief joint presentation from GSEC and Lisa Stanley of CBRE telling the talent story and concluded with a panel of local startup success story companies discussing the importance of access to talent in their decision to locate in the region. The report was emailed nationally to site selection consultants and brokers and is now a top document shared with all prospective clients. A national paid social media campaign was also executed, with direct messaging to CEOs, COOs, and CFOs in target industries around the country.

“The winners of IEDC’s Excellence in Economic Development awards represent the very best of economic development and exemplify the ingenuity, integrity, and leadership that our profession strives for each and every day”, said 2020 IEDC Board Chair and One Columbus CEO Kenny McDonald. “We’re honored to recognize the more than 100 communities whose marketing campaigns, projects and partnerships have measurably improved regional quality of life.”
