LaGrange, Georgia (November 19, 2025) — The Georgia Economic Developers Association, GEDA, has selected Association Services Group of LaGrange, GA., as its new association management partner. ASG began its new management responsibilities for GEDA in November 2025. Prior to partnering with ASG, the Georgia Economic Developers Association worked with Nardone Consulting Group.
“ASG is honored to partner with the Georgia Economic Developers Association, and GEDA CEO Grant Cagle,” said Katie Oxford, CEO of Association Services Group. “Together, we look forward to building on GEDA’s strong legacy of leadership and helping expand economic opportunity throughout Georgia.”
GEDA’s mission is to serve as the leading resource in professional development and public policy for the economic development community in Georgia. Established in 1963 as the Georgia Industrial Developers Association, GEDA adopted its current name in 1993—replacing “industrial” developers with “economic” developers to better reflect the broad scope of interests and services that go into promoting job creation and community prosperity.
GEDA membership today exceeds 700 practitioners and reflects the multi-faceted nature of economic development, whose sectors include manufacturing, commercial, tourism, film, conventions, and more.
Through ASG’s partnership with GEDA, Jennifer Walls will serve as Association Manager, working closely with CEO Grant Cagle to support the association’s operations and advance their mission.
