Awards Update:

The Mid-America Economic Development Council Awards Program is undergoing a slight change in timing as our organization transitions to a single Annual Conference format, replacing our previous schedule of a Best Practices and Competitiveness Conference.
The next awards cycle will begin in 2026, with awards planned to be presented at our Annual Conference in late summer 2026. (Date and Details to be announced soon!)
Please watch for additional information about the awards timeline in late 2025 or early 2026.
We appreciate your flexibility and patience as we make these administrative adjustments to better position MAEDC for the future. We look forward to celebrating excellence in economic development with you in 2026!
