EDGE President and CEO Reid Dulberger said the organization worked diligently last year to ensure that we did not lose the momentum.
“To be among the top 25 economic development organizations in the nation for the second year in a row is an honor and highlights EDGE’s commitment to Memphis and Shelby County, he said in a statement.
Chamber President and CEO Beverly Robertson said economic development is a team sport. In a year that was filled with so many hard challenges, the Mac Conway award recognizes how this team fought hard for Memphis to be the chosen city for businesses to grow and expand, she said. More importantly, we worked together to bring jobs to the citizens of Memphis and Shelby County, ultimately improving the quality of life for over 3,000 families.
