President's Message
January 2008
Dear CEDAS Members,
It is a privilege to serve you as CEDAS’ 2008 President. During the coming year we will continue our educational and networking events, support statewide policy initiatives beneficial to our profession and economic development in the state.
In 2008 CEDAS will host several membership meetings throughout the state, which will include visits to some of Connecticut’s outstanding projects. Plans are also underway to continue the very successful series of economic development training workshops, the Community Builders Institute, with Northeast Utilities. We are also happy to announce that, thanks to a grant from the United Illuminating Company, we will be developing a series of new workshops and training events. Visit the CEDAS events calendar on a regular basis to see our schedule of upcoming activities and please feel free to contact Bob Santy, our Program Committee Chair, to recommend educational topics.
Our Policy Development Committee continues to meet regularly regarding policy issues important to our profession. You are encouraged to contact our Policy Committee Chair, John O’Toole, if you want us to consider l issues of your particular concern.
If you haven’t done so already, I urge you to renew your CEDAS membership for 2008. In addition to benefits previously mentioned, you will receive the CEDAS eNewsletter, networking opportunities, access to scholarships for tuition and registration, and discounted registration rates to some events. If you have questions regarding membership please contact our Membership Committee Chair, Dale Kroop.
Have a great 2008. I look forward to meeting you at our many CEDAS events.
Sincerely yours,
Peggy Brennan
President
