50th Anniversary Annual ConferenceGEDA's 50th Anniversary Conference is just days away! Are you registered? Will you be amung the vendors exhibiting to the largest crowd of economic developers in one building in years? We hope you answered yes to at least one of those questions. We have worked tirelessly with an amazing group of volunteers to put together valuable programming, delicious menus, and great networking opportunities including but not limited to the app, exhibit area, and optional activities. Click here to see who else is registered. Be a Volunteer Rock StarThis article marks a shift in content for the monthly Gazette. We would like to offer more editorial pieces like this one (originally submitted by Mike Pennington for the SEDC weekly blog). It is not our intention that this content will be created by GEDA staff, but by YOU! Feel free to submit an article that you think the membership would find valuable. I know you’ve heard it before … you’ve probably even said it many times before. Join with me, “You can only get from an association what you put into it.” Stated differently, your volunteer activity is directly proportional to the benefits you receive from engagement. We have heard it time and time again and we likely have seen it come to fruition. However, it can still be daunting when you are taking those first steps with a new group or organization. Do my skills match what they’re looking for? Do they have a need for someone like me? Do I have anything of value to provide them? The answers to those questions are yes, Yes and YES! Last Call for Champions CircleWe are thrilled to announce that 4 of the 5 Champions Circle sponsorships have been sold for 2014! Only one spot left. Who will it be? Email Brian Dill if you are interested. As a quick reminder, these four companies have agreed to sponsor GEDA throughout 2014. This is the first time we have ever offered a package like this one and we couldn't be more excited about the response! Be prepared to see the following four logos a lot next year. And yours could be the 5th and final logo. THANK YOU to:
