Message from the Board Chair, Melissa Hunt

I hope this message finds you well! Fall is almost upon us, and with it, the WEDA Fall Best Practices Conference is just around the corner. This annual event is always an exciting opportunity for us to gather, share insights, and reconnect. I look forward to seeing many of you in Eau Claire from September 25-27!

I have one simple request—please join us and consider inviting a new colleague. Each year, we hear about the value of networking opportunities, and we want to continue fostering those meaningful connections. Help us spread the word and encourage others to experience the benefits of being part of WEDA.

I am also thrilled to announce the launch of ED WOW—Economic Development Women of Wisconsin! This new initiative will provide a space for women in our field to connect, share experiences, and support one another. Our first gathering will be held over lunch on Wednesday at noon during the conference, and I would love to have a great group meet up to kick off the conference activities.

The WEDA Fall Best Practices Conference will feature engaging sessions and more. It’s the perfect opportunity to stay on the cutting edge of our industry, so don’t miss out—register today! I look forward to seeing you in Eau Claire!

Warm regards~Melissa
