November 24, 2009 — Claremore, OK - CIEDA Executive Director Tim Hight was recently appointed to the Executive Board of the University of Oklahoma Economic Development Institute. Founded in 1962, The University of Oklahoma’s Economic Development Institute (OU/EDI) provides professional economic developers with the up-to-date knowledge and tools necessary to succeed in today’s competitive marketplace.

To achieve the proper educational experience and instructional insight for participants, OU/EDI draws its instructors from the ranks of today’s leading economic development practitioners and educators across the country.

OU/EDI provides an aggressive three-session program of instruction and research with instructional programs in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Indianapolis, Indiana and in Mexico. Most students complete the OU/EDI program over three calendar years, although this schedule can be accelerated by attending multiple locations. Each of the three OU/EDI sessions allows students to choose from a variety of core and elective courses.

OU/EDI, the only multi-year, professional level program of its type in the U.S., provides professional economic developers with up-to-date knowledge and tools necessary to succeed in today’s constantly changing economic development marketplace.
