                      Tuesday, September 14, 2010

  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join 
me in congratulating the Michigan Economic Developers Association as 
they celebrate their 50th anniversary. The year-long celebration will 
culminate during their annual meeting this week in Traverse City 
Michigan.
  The Michigan Economic Developers Association was formed in 1960 to 
assist local economic development organizations. Over the years they 
have provided education, information and training to local economic 
development leaders. Currently 470 members representing all parts of 
Michigan form the leadership team committed to training economic 
development practitioners and advancing the economic climate of the 
State.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to be able to congratulate the members of 
the Michigan Economic Development Association as they celebrate 50 
years of leadership in the economic development arena. The men and 
women of the Association have volunteered their time, energy, resources 
and insight to improve the economic climate of the State of Michigan 
and I wish them the best as they develop new, innovative ideas for our 
communities.
