IEDA works to increase Illinois competitiveness
in a global economy. Its mission is accomplished through the
collaborative efforts, training and professional development
opportunities, opportunity awareness, and serving as the unified
voice of professional economic developers throughout Illinois.
To best serve the diverse footprint of Illinois, IEDA elects its
Board of Directors through regional representation. Runge will
join the Board as one of the representatives of the Central
Illinois Region.
Runge’s appointment comes just after LEAD’s first year of
operations. Even though the position on the Board of Directors
is held by Runge personally, the advantages for Lincoln’s
business community are not lost on Runge. “It is always best to
have a finger on the pulse of what is happening in this
ever-changing environment. Being a part of the Illinois Economic
Development Association Board of Directors will allow me to
network with other professionals, envision the Illinois economic
horizon line, and bring back that information to our Lincoln
businesses,” Runge said.
LEAD’s mission is to empower Lincoln’s economic health and
vitality. To learn more about LEAD, please visit www.thriveinlincoln.org.
