Case # 3 <br /> <br /> EDAM SUMMER CONFERENCE <br />By: Scan Sullivan, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Last year the EDA sent John LeTourneau to the EDAM Summer Conference at Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge. <br />Representation by the EDA as well as an educational element to EDA members makes this event beneficial to <br />the EDA. I have attended the event for several years and have been able to expand my network in the economic <br />development community. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />John Letourneau was very impressed by the event and the ability to meet new people in the economic <br />development field and to take in information relating to economic development in Minnesota. This year's <br />conference will focus on ethic for economic developers as well as business trends in the State of Minnesota. <br />(see attached) Last year the EDA paid for one member to attend the conference. Sending two members would <br />be something to consider. The budget can absorb these costs and the education presented at this conference <br />would be beneficial to EDA members. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends sending 2 EDA members to the EDAM Summer Conference and paying for the Conference <br />registration and lodging for the event. <br /> <br />EDA Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend sending 2 EDA members to the EDAM Summer Conference and paying for the <br />Conference registration and lodging for the event. <br /> <br />EDA: 05.11.06 <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br /> <br />
