2012 TACDC Community Economic Development Conference
The 19th Annual TACDC Community Economic Development Conference is going to be held in March 2012 in the wonderful city of Houston Texas. We are currently still finalizing detail, but check back often to find updates.
Houston Host Committee
TACDC is still accepting applications to be on the Conference host committee. When our Conference falls outside of Austin, TACDC requests the aid of a host committee, which is a collaborative group of locally based members that help plan details of the Conference. Host committe members will be recognized at the Conference, on the website, and in the Conference program. Being on the Committee is a great way to network and get to know other members in your area.
