Our Committees
The committees of the Kentucky Association for Economic Development (KAED) are active, member-driven groups that support the mission and goals of our organization. Each committee focuses on a specific area of interest, helping drive initiatives, engagement, and impact across Kentucky. We invite all members to learn more about our committees and get involved.
Note: You must be a current KAED member to join a committee.
