What does it take to lead real, lasting change in your community? 🏡

Community Development Institute West offers more than just training, it’s a pathway to becoming a certified Professional Community and Economic Developer.

Through this 3-year program participants can work toward certification while gaining hands-on experience, building regional networks, and developing the skills needed to tackle complex community challenges.

This year's CDI West event will be taking place in Boise, Idaho from July 20th to 24th.

If you’re serious about advancing your impact, this is where that next step starts.
