The Maryland Economic Development Association (MEDA) has issued a call for nominations for its 2011 MEDA Awards.
Recognizing the innovation, synergy, and leadership at play when economic development transforms communities, the annual MEDA Awards will be presented in seven categories:
In honor of MEDA's 50th Anniversary, the MEDA Economic Impact Award was created to celebrate a project or program bringing lasting investment, momentous impact, and luster to a region and to the state at large. Eligible submissions create and nurture economic growth, prosperity, and renewal on a sweeping scale, improving Marylanders' lives far beyond regional borders.
"The MEDA Awards recognize members' efforts to attract and support businesses, redevelop business districts, market communities, and promote workforce development, tourism, and agriculture," says President David S. Iannucci. "If you know of a red carpet-worthy project or program in any category, nominate it today."
Nominations for the 2011 MEDA Awards must be submitted by January 31, 2011. Awards will be announced and award-winning entries will be displayed during the 2011 MEDA Annual Conference at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay on June 6, 2011.
