Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) November 26, 2014 -- The Maryland Economic Development Association (MEDA) is now accepting submissions for the tenth annual MEDA Awards, which, sponsored by Miles and Stockbridge P.C., celebrate economic development excellence in Maryland. “The MEDA Awards recognize the individuals, programs and projects that bring economic prosperity to the state. We encourage our members to nominate the individuals, programs and businesses that are making a positive economic impact in the state of Maryland,” said Pam Ruff, executive director of MEDA.
MEDA members can nominate private-sector businesses that have made a positive impact on Maryland’s economy for the Economic Development Project Award, while programs that foster best practices in all areas of economic development can be nominated for the Economic Development Program Award. The Economic Development Marketing Award honors organizations that have achieved significant results from a marketing initiative, including economic development advertising, marketing and public relations campaigns.
MEDA members may nominate individuals for one of two awards, including the Hall of Fame or Volunteer of the Year awards. The MEDA Hall of Fame Award recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to the economic development profession in Maryland, while the Volunteer of the Year Award spotlights those who have volunteered their time and talent with an economic development organization.
