SUMMARY:2015 MEDA Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Economic Development: an Investment in the Future\nCreating Opportunities…Inspiring Innovations…Enriching Communities\nCLICK HERE TO VIEW SPEAKER SLIDES FROM THE MEDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE \nCLICK HERE TO READ A RECAP OF THE INSPIRING INNOVATION PANEL  \nCLICK HERE TO READ A RECAP OF THE CREATING OPPORTUNITIES PANEL \nIt has been said that economic development is the most important non-mandated function government can provide. It has the power to change a neighborhood\, a region\, and even the world. And while most understand that a healthy local economy is desirable\, little is understood about economic development as a discipline and the importance of a sound economic development strategy. While Maryland has had a proven record in economic development\, there is a growing need to ensure that there is an understanding and unwavering support for the need to invest in economic development if we want to have a successful future for all our citizens. \nAt the 2015 MEDA Annual Conference we will bring together thought leaders for a provocative discussion about how we need to change the narrative of economic development. We will look at how we help others understand the “why” of economic development and inspire the professionals who spend their career working to make their communities a better place – and one neighborhood at a time\, work to change the world. \nThe Annual Conference will take place April 26 – April 28\, 2015 at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge\, Maryland. \nSPONSOR the MEDA Annual Conference!\nLink to learn about sponsorship opportunities.\n(click on the ‘Annual Conference’ tab)\nDONATE to the SILENT AUCTION\n(BENEFITS LOFTON SCHOLARSHIP FUND) !\nPlease click here.\nEXHIBIT at the MEDA Annual Conference!\nPlease click here.\nAgenda(PDF)\nBelow are items to be voted on during the MEDA Business Meeting (Monday\, April 27\, 2015): \n\n2015-16 Proposed Slate of Officers\nMEDA 2015 Winter Business Meeting Minutes\n\nRefunds cannot be provided after April 16. \nIF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE REGISTRATION FORM BELOW\, PLEASE CONTACT MEDA AT (410) 347-1246 OR INFO@MEDAMD.COM  \n
