WEDA is a statewide, non-profit association of economic development, local government, port, business, tribal, education and community leaders committed to enhancing the state's climate for economic development.
Our mission is to serve as the statewide professional association committed to the development of economic and employment opportunities in our state. This requires a strong presence in state legislative and regulatory arenas. WEDA is recognized among decision-makers in Olympia as a united voice for economic development. Legislators and the executive branch respect WEDA because it represents a broad cross-section of individuals throughout the state and has the ability to develop and utilize extensive coalitions on any issue central to economic development.
WEDA offers its members and others high quality training and networking opportunities at its meetings throughout the year.
