SEDC Celebrates 40 Years!
In this special episode of The Local Edge, we’re celebrating 40 years of supporting business and entrepreneurship across the region. Host Rose Austin is joined by SEDC Board President Irene Drost and SEDC Board Secretary Gary Lantz, who reflect on their experiences serving on the Board and the impact SEDC has had over the past four decades.
The episode also features a special conversation with Eddie LeMoine, who joins us via Zoom to share a preview of the insights and inspiration he’ll bring as the keynote speaker at SEDC’s 40th Anniversary Celebration on October 22.
Tune in for a look back at SEDC’s journey, the people who help guide the organization, and an exciting glimpse of what’s to come as we celebrate this important milestone.
