MANDEVILLE, LA – The Southern Economic Development Council (SEDC) honored the St. Tammany Economic Development Foundation (STEDF) with a communications award for its 2014 annual report, “Growing Together.”
The STEDF annual report received the “Award of Merit” in the medium division of SEDC’s annual Communications Awards. Mele Printing designed the publication.
Brenda Bertus, CEO of STEDF, accepted the award on July 27 at the annual SEDC conference in Savannah, GA.
“SEDC provides us with valuable regional partners and resources, helping our organization to establish benchmarks and standards of practice,” Bertus said. “We have been SEDC members for seven years, and in that time, we’ve won four communications awards. Communications and transparency continue to be a priority for us.”
