Welcome
THE MEDA FOUNDATION WELCOMES YOU TO OUR 16TH ANNUAL SILENT AUCTION
Each year, the MEDA Silent Auction offers bidders a wide array of enviable prizes, and 2023 is no exception. Your bids go to a great cause, too – proceeds from the auction benefit the Lofton Scholarship Fund which MEDA members can access to pay for approved professional development courses. There is also an opportunity to make direct contributions to both the Lofton Fund and the Rhonda Ray Scholarship, which supports educational advancement within economic development, public policy or related fields. Since its establishment, we’ve distributed hundreds of Lofton Scholarships that have helped members take the Chesapeake Basic Economic Development course — a critical step toward earning Certified Economic Developer status — and other certification courses from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC). Last fall, we awarded the first Rhonda Ray scholarship. With your generosity, we hope to open even more doors for scholarship recipients.
Feel free to contact us if you have questions. We appreciate your support and participation.
Happy Bidding!
The MEDA Team
