The FSC First team was pleased to attend the 2026 MEDA Annual Conference at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina!

This year’s theme, “The A-MAZING World of Economic Development: Navigating Complexity. Embracing Innovation. Driving Impact,” truly captured the moment we’re in. Economic development can feel like a maze—filled with twists, turns, and new pathways—but within that complexity lies real opportunity to innovate, collaborate, and create lasting impact.

From conversations around AI and workforce development to housing and building vibrant communities, this conference reinforced the importance of staying adaptable while remaining mission-driven.

Thank you to Maryland Economic Development Association for hosting such an insightful and inspiring conference. We’re excited to continue applying what we’ve learned to support and empower businesses in our communities.

Being “the strong one” doesn’t mean doing it all alone.

There’s power in slowing down, checking in, and giving yourself the same care you give to everything else.

You deserve to thrive—not just push through.
