MEDA Capitol Day
Capitol Day is MEDA's annual legislative conference. This one-day conference includes sessions on the latest legislative issues related to economic development as well as State and Federal agency updates on economic development initiatives and laws. Capital Day also provides a unique opportunity to sit down one-on-one with your local legislator and discuss issues specific to your community or region.
In order to develop the best conference, a volunteer committee of MEDA members meets regularly to plan Capitol Day and other MEDA membership programs. Click Here to learn more about the Education Committee.

Year-long Fundraiser for Goodwill
As part of MEDA's 50th Anniversary Celebration, two dollars for every MEDA program and training attendee (excluding CEcD Training Courses) will be given to Goodwill. We chose Goodwill because of their mission of enhancing society. They have constantly given back to our communities in the many services and programs they offer; you can visit their website at www.goodwill.org for many examples.
In addition, you can submit a personal or organizational donation by using the allotted space on the Capitol Day registration form.
All donations will be collected and separated by MEDA region and membership per capita; the region with the highest amount per member will win the competition and be acknowledged during the MEDA Fall program.
