CCED's Annual Dinner 2012

 

The Second Annual Cuming County Economic Development Dinner will be held on Sunday, September 23rd, 2012. It is a time to reflect on the past year and celebrate the accomplishments of the county communities. Awards will be presented for the following categories: Business of the Year and Community of the Year.

 

Presenters

This year we will have very special presentations from four young high schools students. Each Cuming County High School will nominate one student to present their entrepreneurial ideas for a potential business venture in their community. The students will also touch on what Cuming County would need to offer them in order for them to return after obtaining a college degree or technical training. There will ultimately be one winner; voted by the audience via text poll. The student with the winning 'entrepreneurial idea' will be awarded a cash prize. The students' school will also win a cash prize. It should be an exciting evening!
