March 2006, Volume: 9, Issue: e/3, ISBN 1527-5175

~~~This e-newsletter marks the beginning of our 9th year electronically, preceded by six years of periodic production. We created a different format for this issue to remind you and to introduce new readers to available professional programs. We have compiled a list which is representative of professional conferences across North America, acknowledging there are many which did not make it to the final cut. E-mail, web addresses, or telephone numbers are provided at the end for your ease of follow up. If you would like to list a statewide, provincial, regional, or national event, send us details for future issues. We have tried to present balance, both in terms of geography and conference sponsors. There are undoubtedly others which are not unique to economic development but might present a new perspective.

Send those too. research@blanecanada.com
