AAED Names Brock Severson 2026 New Member of the Year
Please join us in congratulating Brock Severson, Economic Development Specialist with the City of Apache Junction, on being named New Member of the Year by the Arizona Association for Economic Development (AAED) at its recent annual Spring Conference. This award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the organization within their first 18 months of membership.
In his first year with AAED, Brock completed key professional development programs, earned his AZED Pro certification, participated in mentorship opportunities, and actively supported economic development efforts through outreach and community engagement. He is also pursuing his Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) credential while building strong partnerships with organizations such as Greater Phoenix Economic Council, the Arizona Commerce Authority, and the Apache Junction Area Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to being members of AAED ourselves, and serving as AAED’s website development vendor, we are excited to work alongside Brock and the City of Apache Junction Economic Development Department in support of various marketing initiatives. Congrats, Brock!
