PROFESSIONAL BRIEF - ARTHUR K. BURDITT IIIArthur K. Burditt has worked professionally in economic development and related research and consulting fields for over twenty years. His professional work has covered both domestic and international project assignments. Burditt completed his MPA in human resource development and public finance at Princeton University in 1977. While developing his academic skills, he earned his way through school through a series of Federal internship experiences. On completing his Master's degree, he proceeded to hone his skills with several years of economic and management consulting experience. These assignments included projects in areas such as property management and disposal, legal and regulatory compliance surveys, resource planning, and transportation issues, and natural resource concerns. During the 1980s, Burditt continued to work in Washington, D.C. with a prominent corporate-supported governmental finance and tax research program. Advancing progressively in that field, he came to direct the day-to-day operations of the foundation's research department along with authoring numerous research works and fielding inquiries from business firms, professional associations, and academics throughout the fifty states. This led to a series of overseas assignments in the late 1980's and early 1990's. These engagements covered national development concerns and U.S. program areas in matters of economic development, public enterprise and privatization, asset deployment and housing & urban environment. Simultaneously, he carried out an active program of institutional research during this time in areas of community development, entrepreneurship and small business development, covering urban concerns in a cross section of American cities. This involved design and completion of economic and social research projects and surveys linking busines productivity concerns with community development needs. Burditt resettled in San Francisco from 1992 to 1999 to assist in developing several new business and public service programs, including Business Outreach Systems and Services and resulting Internet-associated ventures. He has continued to build on his prior consulting work and conducted workshops, seminars and private research for business executives and public professionals. These focus on areas including business promotion, community development, and productivity improvement. These activities are evolving rapidly to accommodate rapidly developing communication and information technologies which have major implications for strategies to make economic development and community outreach programs more effective and cost-efficient. Burditt has focused primarily on working with decision-makers via individual workshops and group seminars on productivity improvement. ![]() Chronologically or ![]() Reverse-chronologically |
