 UEDA's Summit Committee is already hard at work planning for Summit 2009. Mark your calendars now and save October 11-13, 2009 for UEDA's Summit in San Antonio, Texas. Attend the Summit and learn how economic development is going green with new technologies and using traditional energy sources in eco-friendly ways. In addition to great panel presentations, this year's Summit will include lots of opportunities for you to discuss key issues with colleagues in facilitated forums. Shortly, we'll send you information on submitting applications for panel presentations, Awards of Excellence and to volunteer to assist with the facilitated forums. Stay tuned for more information.
Welcome another new member to UEDA!
