Professional Development Scholarship

A Chance to Receive Complimentary Registration

The Site Selectors Guild recognizes that some economic organizations have limited resources and are not otherwise able to enjoy all of the educational benefits and networking opportunities that attendance at a Guild Annual Conference can provide. The Robert M. Ady Professional Development Scholarships award five deserving economic developers with complimentary registration to an upcoming Annual Conference. We seek candidates who are eager to learn and plan to apply the skills and knowledge gained to benefit their careers, organizations and communities. If selected for an Ady Scholarship, applicants must promptly confirm their ability to attend the corresponding Guild Annual Conference. They are expected to be present for the duration of the conference, taking fullest advantage of conference-related activities.

Guild Awards Program

Gain Recognition for Outstanding Work

The Site Selectors Guild has launched an award program for our Annual Conference attendees to give economic development organizations and their partners the opportunity to receive recognition for the work being done in their communities. Our two categories–Projects with a Purpose and Community Innovation: Building a Better Business Climate–recognize unique projects and initiatives that positively impact communities. Learn more about the different categories and how to submit a project for the 2022 Annual Conference Awards here.
