2020 WEDA Governor’s Conference On Economic Development
The Governor’s Conference on Economic Development is the biggest WEDA education and networking event of the year, and we look forward to your attendance in Madison, February 5- 7, 2020. This year’s conference will provide an in-depth opportunity for participants to explore one of the fastest growing segments of socially responsible investing in our communities.
Wisconsin foundations, other institutions and socially motivated families possess a significant, largely untapped source of capital for responding to the state’s development opportunities and addressing its challenges. Learn how capital can be prudently invested to create more healthy, inclusive and sustainable communities in urban, rural and tribal areas across the state.
The Governor’s Conference on Economic Development will feature national presenters that are experts on blending community and economic development efforts to advance social outcomes.
