Welcome to KAED
A better Kentucky for everyone
The Kentucky Association for Economic Development, KAED, works to promote economic development in Kentucky. Economic development is more than just the retention and expansion of manufacturing. It's about improving the business environment and quality of life for every citizen in Kentucky.
Membership to KAED is open to anyone connected to the economic and community development in Kentucky. Our members represent diverse cross-sections of professionals throughout the Commonwealth, and beyond, who share a common interest in Kentucky's continued success.
Our vision is simple - we strive to give our members the educational training, networking, and advocacy opportunities they need to grow Kentucky and effectively do their jobs.
