Economic development might seem an odd profession. Today was about as good as it gets… over an hour in a hot industrial building and stopping for a gallon of milk and an ice cream treat at the new Dollar General store on Highway 46 in Bon Aqua on their first day of business. Much work and sweat is expended long before everyone can enjoy the treat.
… it’s probably here somewhere
Daryl Phillips, CEcD
I work as an economic developer. At the moment, my day job is Executive Director of Hickman County Economic & Community Development Association, Inc. Working in a one person shop, I do community marketing, strategic planning, industrial recruitment, business retention & expansion, retail recruitment, tourism development and manage the non-profit corporation of the public/private partnership.
I am a member of International Economic Development Council, Southern Economic Development Council, Tennessee Economic Development Council and International Council of Shopping Centers.
I have held the designation of Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) from International Economic Development Council (IEDC) since 2008 and I have earned a Master of Business Administration from Tennessee Technological University.
