"I have found our membership in WEDA to be invaluable. The prospect development and trade shows they attend fit my economic development agenda perfectly. The leads that I receive from them on an almost daily basis are always qualified and detailed enough for me to decide whether or not they fit my community's strategic growth plans. One of the most rewarding parts of the membership is the focused networking events held in conjunction with each of the trade shows. These are immensely valuable and have resulted in me making contact with industry leaders, site selection officials, and prospects that I might not have otherwise had the chance to meet with on such a personal level." -- Sean Stockard, Business Development Corporation of Vernon, TX
