Business Facilities CALED Supplement 2012 : Page 2California’s Economic Developers Take Care of Business The California Association for Local Economic Development (CALED) is pleased to share with you our annual member directory showcasing California’s Economic Development Network—A network of dedicated local economic development professionals working hard to help businesses grow and thrive in California. CALED represents hundreds of local economic developers in the state. Every time I talk to our members, I’m amazed at their passion for retaining and creating jobs in their communities. Developing creative solutions for business financing, facilitating partnerships for technology transfer, connecting businesses with training resources, providing one-on-one small business assistance, etc., are just some of the services California’s local economic developers provide to help their business thrive.
