The Robert Sieghart Award

The Robert Sieghart Award: For Enthusiasm for the Economic Development Profession

The recipient of this award is someone who loves the profession of economic development but may not necessarily be a full-time economic developer. This recipient is someone who understands the importance of economic development to all communities, locally and statewide. This person will be interested in bringing more converts into the economic development fold, whether private-sector partners, local community officials, or college students who are considering career options. This recipient will love the thought that more jobs and investment in a community will benefit the entire state, that the rising tide lifts all ships. This person understands that the definition of economic development will be different in every community and organization, but the principles of helping the business community stay and grow will strengthen the future of our great state. Finally, this award recipient will have embraced MEDA as the organization that is the voice of the economic development profession in Michigan. This award is limited to MEDA members only.
