The IDA Academy provides regular training for Industrial Development Agency (IDA) staff and executives on a variety of issues to help operate an IDA office more efficiently and effectively. The Summer 2026 Academy will offer training sessions that include best practices, tools available to IDAs, and public policy that impacts IDA authority and operation.
