Retail Committee

The Economic Development Association of Alabama’s (EDAA) Retail Committee is a pivotal group committed to advancing retail development across the state. Under the leadership of Committee Chair Susan Eller, this committee brings together professionals focused on driving growth in Alabama’s retail sector, which has become an increasingly important part of the state’s economic landscape. The Retail Committee’s flagship event is the annual EDAA Retail Committee Reception at the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Las Vegas. This gathering offers Alabama’s economic developers a unique opportunity to engage with key industry decision-makers and explore new retail investment opportunities before the start of ICSC Las Vegas.

In recent years, the committee has seen remarkable growth, reflecting the broader trend of economic developers expanding their efforts to include retail. By providing essential resources and support, the Retail Committee helps EDAA members integrate retail development into their economic strategies, ultimately contributing to the overall economic growth of Alabama.
