🌟 We couldn’t be prouder of our own Allison Heinrich! 🌟

Please join us in congratulating Allison Heinrich, MMDC’s Director of Business Development & Attraction, on receiving the Birgit Klohs Scholarship Award at this year's Michigan Economic Developers Association (MEDA)' Annual Meeting! 🎉

This recognition is a tremendous honor and a reflection of Allison’s dedication to economic development, her commitment to building strong communities, and the impact she is making across Middle Michigan.

Every day, Allison works to connect businesses with opportunities, promote our region as a great place to invest and grow, and build relationships that help move our communities forward. We are incredibly fortunate to have her on the MMDC team, and even more fortunate to watch her continue to grow as a leader in our industry.

The Birgit Klohs Scholarship honors the legacy of one of Michigan’s most influential economic development leaders, and we can’t think of anyone more deserving of this opportunity than Allison.

Congratulations, Allison! We are so proud to call you one of our own! 💙👏
