CANDO: Council for the Advancement of Native Development Officers

CANDO is a Canada-wide organization that facilitates the education and training of Aboriginal Economic Development Officers (EDO's). It was founded in 1990 in response to the lack of a nationally focused effort to provide standardized recognition of Aboriginal EDOs' professional abilities. A board of directors elected from a slate of volunteer EDO’s from across Canada oversees this association.
CANDO offers a program in which prior learning assessments or post-secondary education courses lead to EDO Certification for personnel involved in economic development of Aboriginal communities.
An annual Aboriginal Economic Development Convention has been hosted six times by CANDO and this year’s was held September 27-30, 2000 at the Explorer Hotel in Yellowknife. The host organization was the Denendeh Development Corporation.
