CAN DO’s recent marketing efforts have earned the organization numerous awards from a prominent economic development association.

The Northeastern Economic Developers Association (NEDA) presented CAN DO representatives with one Best of Class/Superior, one Excellent and four Merit awards in the 2009 NEDA Literature & Promotions Competition during its conference, which was held in September.

“SiteLines,” received the Best of Class/Superior award. Judges noted its design and eye-catching title.

The CAN DO Energy Solutions brochure, which touts the agency’s green energy efforts, received a score of Excellent.

The 2008 CAN DO Annual Report to the Community, the “Communiqué” e-mailed newsletter, the “What Vision … CAN DO” general purpose brochure and the printed advertisement “Hazleton, PA is on a (Tootsie) Roll” also received Merit Awards.

“The CAN DO staff is constantly trying to produce eye-catching, high-quality materials to attract new jobs and new economic opportunity and inform the public about what we do,” said CAN DO Chairman of the Board John Spevak. “It’s very gratifying to receive six awards, and it encourages us to keep moving forward, especially in these challenging economic times.”
