    Scheiner to Provide Update as CEDC Celebrates Economic Development Week

    May 1, 2024

    CONROE, TEXAS (May 1, 2024) – The Conroe Economic Development Council (CEDC) celebrates Economic Development Week from May 6 to May 10 to recognize and honor economic success in Conroe. Economic Development Week is a global initiative led by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC).

    Economic Development Week in Conroe is highlighted by the Economic Development Update luncheon hosted by the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce on Monday, May 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at North Montgomery County Community Center. CEDC Executive Director Danielle Scheiner will provide a detailed look into key economic development activities in Conroe. Registration is open on the Chamber’s website, Conroe.org, or click here.

    “Economic Development Week allows us to reflect on the success of our team and the many stakeholders throughout Conroe that have contributed to the economic vitality we experience. I look forward to updating our community on the projects leading the way for sustainable growth in Conroe,” said Scheiner.

    “As the local and regional economies evolve, the economic development profession must remain agile and responsive to change. The expertise of dedicated economic development professionals and organizations is vital in cultivating sustainable growth and prosperity,” said IEDC President & CEO Nathan Ohle. “This year’s Economic Development Week will showcase innovative community leadership driving collaboration and creating opportunities in their communities. I hope our communities and economic developers around the world will join us in celebrating the accomplishments of a profession full of passionate changemakers and community builders.”

    The IEDC created Economic Development Week in 2016 to recognize the work that economic development organizations and professionals do in their communities. IEDC celebrates Economic Development Week every year, highlighting the programs, best practices and exceptional individuals that positively impact life in their communities.
