Alabama Power’s Patrick Murphy Takes Over As President Of EDAA

By Michael Tomberlin

The head of economic development at Alabama Power has been named the new president of the organization representing those who practice the profession that is behind job growth and investment in the state.

Patrick Murphy, vice president of Business, Sales and Economic Development at Alabama Power, received the gavel Wednesday as president of the Economic Development Association of Alabama at the organization’s 2018 Summer Conference. Lee Lawson, president and CEO of the Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance, is outgoing president.

Murphy said he steps into the role at a time when he feels it’s important to emphasize the work that economic development professionals do throughout the state.“Economic development is a local issue,” Murphy said. “It is done, performed locally and regionally, by people in the communities. Our goal this year is to highlight that a little bit better.”
