Kim Bradford, Laura Garner, Dr. Robert Pittman and Dr. David McCalman, Department of Academic Outreach and Extended Programs, recently received a $1,500 grant from the Conway Advertising and Promotion Committee for a Community Development Institute.
The Institute serves to prepare community developers with professional skills and knowledge in grass root economic development and capacity building. The Institute is endorsed by the International Community Development Council as a key experience in preparing individuals to become certified community developers.
Over 500 community developers have graduated from CDI. Many CDI graduates have remained in the area and contributed to the economic development of the state and local community.
