CREDC’s vision is for Clark County to be recognized as one of the most inclusive, healthy and amenity-rich communities in the country. As a result, and with a continued focus on growing a diverse base of community-minded employers, talent (both inside and outside the region) sees greater opportunity here than anywhere else in the country.
We support regional companies, small businesses, start-ups, and create programs and initiatives that grow our economy.

Are you an energetic initiator with finite attention to detail and superb follow-through skills? In
the CREDC Events Coordinator (contract) role, you will take the lead in orchestrating all
operational aspects of our live and digital events calendar.
Behind the scenes of every successful public event and board activity is a healthy amount of preparation, and you will be in charge of lining up the components that create smooth, enjoyable stakeholder experiences. There is no one-size-fits-all roadmap for this position, as each CREDC event is intentionally unique. To be successful, you are someone who thrives in an environment where you can direct traffic, roll up your sleeves, and be adaptable in real-time.
Standout candidates for this position will be expected to exhibit strong initiative, participate in a collaborative team culture, be direct with your communications, and be fun!
The types of activities included in your portfolio will include: selecting venues and online hosting platforms, securing speakers, budgeting event hosting costs, arranging vendor services, evaluating pricing structures, confirming sponsorship commitments, and acting as the primary point of contact for event administration and quality assurance.
Do you thrive on making complex processes feel simple—and turning uncertainty into opportunity? CREDC is seeking a proactive and client-centered APEX Accelerator Procurement Technical Advisor to join our team in Vancouver, WA. You’ll guide local small businesses through the tangled world of government contracting—from SAM.gov registration and specialty certifications to bid-matching and winning proposals. You’ll deliver clear, compelling workshops and one-on-one advising that turns business goals into real results. If you love solving problems, building relationships, and helping entrepreneurs grow—and you’re comfortable working hybrid and independently—this role is your chance to steward regional economic growth and impact your community.
