WEDI Update: Economic Development News and Views

President's Comments

The Wisconsin Economic Development Association (WEDA) is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to expanding the economy of the State of Wisconsin. Since 1975 WEDA has successfully represented the collective economic development interests of both the private and public sectors by providing leadership in defining and promoting statewide economic development initiatives. WEDA maintains Executive and Legislative Directors to administer and direct WEDA's ambitious activities and programs.

WEDA provides a variety of membership benefits, including but not limited to the following items:

• Professional Development / Continuing Education Opportunities
• Legislative Affairs
• Resources & Networking

The impacts of legislative and regulatory policies on Wisconsin's economic development climate are of the highest priority to WEDA and its members. It is critical that the collective voice of economic development professionals is heard as public policy matters affecting our economy and workforce are debated and acted upon. Please see WEDA's Legislative Alerts.
