Dear Member or Prospective Member,

The McDowell Economic Development Association would like to request your membership in this vital organization.  The MEDA is the local agency responsible for the development and retention of existing industry and the recruitment of new companies that serve to diversify and improve the local economy.

The McDowell Economic Development Association has sponsored its first Industry Appreciation and Product Showcase event, has adopted a series of goals and objectives to be implemented and worked with other local agency representatives to initiate an Existing Industry Visitation and Strategic Planning process.

Your membership and your participation are needed.  There are three levels of membership and the Association is open to all people.  As a member, you will receive a quarterly newsletter, an invitation to the Annual Meeting and the opportunity to serve on the Board of Director’s.  Your membership funds are used for a variety of services directly related to providing services to our existing companies and to assist with the recruitment of new business and investment to our community.

Please take the time to join MEDA today by filling out the form below and returning it along with your membership dues to: MEDA, PO Box 1289, Marion, NC 28752.  I would like to thank you in advance for your support.

Cordially,     

 

Adolph "Butch" Justice, President
