The Copperas Cove Economic Development Corporation was recently announced as one of 72 recipients of TEDC’s annual Economic Excellence Recognition program for 2024.
The awards were presented on Friday, February 28th, during the TEDC’s 2025 Winter Conference in Austin, Texas. CCEDC Executive Director, Fred Welch, and Senior Director, Sean Stevens, were both in attendance at the conference to receive the award.
The Economic Excellence Recognition program provides recognition to economic development organizations that meet a desired threshold of professionalism. Recipients qualify for recognition based on training taken by their governing board/council as well as the economic development director and professional staff. Certifications, professional memberships and activities, and organizational effectiveness of the economic development staff also contribute to the standards for qualification.
“The TEDC’s Economic Excellence Recognition program is one of the ways in which our organization honors the outstanding commitment to excellence of our communities and regions, their leaders, and their economic development professionals have toward the professionalization of their economic development efforts,” noted Carlton Schwab, President/CEO of the TEDC.
“We are excited to receive this recognition from TEDC. Copperas Cove EDC is proud of its work. Congratulations to the entire team for this award,” said Fred Welch.
