EDC ANNUAL MEETING

Groundbreaking Impact

The Grand Forks Region Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors cordially invites you to our 2026 Annual Meeting on March 26, 2026.

This year’s theme, Groundbreaking Impact, celebrates the transformative projects, partnerships, and people that are reshaping the Grand Forks region. From bold investments to strategic collaboration, we’ll highlight the initiatives that are breaking new ground and driving lasting economic momentum.

Join us for a newly structured event as we feature clients and their projects and ecosystem partnership programs during a social hour before and after the program. We’ll showcase impactful developments across the region and explore the opportunities ahead that will continue to strengthen our economy and community in a condensed program. Guests are encouraged to visit with attending company and program partners.

The EDC Board of Directors will also present the 2026 Klaus Thiessen Impact Award, honoring a business or individual whose contributions have made a meaningful and lasting impact on economic growth in the region.

Together, let’s recognize the progress we’ve made—and the powerful impact still ahead.
