FSC First

Congratulations to our President & CEO, Dawn R.

Medley, on being honored at the Black Door Society’s Biennial Community of Excellence Awards Luncheon. 

We are proud to celebrate Dawn’s outstanding leadership, dedication to economic development, and unwavering commitment to creating opportunities that strengthen our communities. This recognition is a testament to her impact and the difference she continues to make every day.

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.
