How are individuals, businesses, and communities making Maine a magnet for young workers & their families? Join us for MDF’s 46th Annual Meeting & Champion Awards Celebration and find out! This year’s event is a breakfast festivity and will serve as a kickoff to the 2024 Magnetize Maine conference, hosted by Uplift LA in conjunction with MDF’s Realize Maine Network.

During our Annual Meeting, MDF will present the Dirigo Rising Young Professional Award, Champion of Rural Economic Development Award, and Champion of Education & Workforce Development Award. The awards this year will recognize individuals, businesses, and community groups for demonstrated exceptional leadership and dedication to strengthening the state’s economy and/or their community with efforts to attract and/or retain young people in Maine.

We are thrilled to partner this year with Magnetize Maine, a statewide conference now in its 6th year and hosted by one of the regional chapter groups who make up MDF’s Realize Maine Network. This year’s conference is hosted by Uplift LA, and will run 9am-5pm – we hope you will stay the whole day and participate in Magnetize.
