What keeps MEDA unique and innovative is that MEDA is an organization that values and fosters a culture of creativity and innovation. This culture emerges from the entrepreneurial spirit of the members which is reflected in the board and which inspires staff.

In fifteen years at MEDA I have made my share of mistakes, but I have never felt that I shouldn't be trying new things - many of which have worked quite well. New and creative ideas will rarely emerge from an organization that is too afraid of making mistakes.

At MEDA, we are fortunate to have such an organizational culture. We have enough interaction with the development industry to know that this is a rare quality that should continue to be encouraged and nurtured.
