At MEDA, we believe that strong economic development starts with well-equipped, knowledgeable professionals. That’s why Education is a cornerstone of our mission to advance economic development across Montana. Through specialized training, financial support, and strategic partnerships, MEDA empowers members to build their skills, grow their impact, and stay on the leading edge of the profession.
In partnership with the Montana Department of Commerce and Grow America, MEDA members have access to a high-value professional development course at a dramatically reduced rate. While the standard cost of this training is $1,700, MEDA members can enroll for just $125. Each member organization is eligible for one course in 2024, making this an incredible opportunity to deepen your expertise in economic development at minimal cost.
The MEDA Growth Scholarship is designed to invest directly in our members’ professional advancement. This initiative offers up to $1,000 per organization to support participation in eligible training or development programs. This scholarship underscores our commitment to building capacity across Montana’s economic development network.
Montana’s communities deserve development leaders who are confident, competent, and connected. MEDA’s education initiatives ensure that economic developers, regardless of geography or budget, have access to the tools, knowledge, and training they need to succeed.
Through accessible programs, targeted scholarships, and strategic partnerships, MEDA is proud to support the ongoing learning that fuels economic growth in every corner of the state.
Every state has them, and a critical part of MEDA is being a venue where the development organizations of the Treasure State can convene to share best practices and keep up to date on each other’s success!
