WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS RECOGNIZES MARYLAND NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE
PGCEDC President & CEO, David Iannucci accepts the Stuart A. Freudberg Award for Regional Partnership
LARGO, MD -At its Annual Membership Meeting and Awards Luncheon on December 13th, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) presented its highest honors to three area officials and one organization for their service and contributions to the region. The Maryland National Capital Region Economic Development Alliance received the Stuart A. Freudberg Award for Regional Partnership.
The alliance represents Economic Development offices from six Maryland jurisdictions — Anne Arundel County, Charles County, Frederick County, Howard County, Montgomery County, and Prince George’s County.
"The Maryland National Capital Region Economic Development Alliance came together in 2019 pre-COVID but during COVID began meeting virtually weekly which was like being in a fox hole," said PGCEDC President & CEO, David Iannucci. "We met every Wednesday and showed that regional cooperation was never better than in Maryland to meet the regional challenges of today and we are not done."
MNCREDA was recognized for its work on pandemic relief for local businesses and nonprofits, original research, support of growth initiatives, and advancing regional collaboration on economic development. The President and CEO of the Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation, David Iannucci, accepted the award on behalf of the alliance members.
The Freudberg Award recognizes organizations or individuals that provided leadership in support of regional policies or programs endorsed by COG. This is the third year the award has been presented, created in memory of Stuart A. Freudberg, who in his 40-year career at COG, served in several leadership positions in the organization, including Deputy Executive Director from 2014 to 2020.
