The MEDA Gala began in 1985. Each November, we host this black-tie benefit dinner and auction to honor our clients’ achievements. The MEDA Gala has become the premier benefit and networking event for entrepreneurs of color in the Twin Cities.
The Metropolitan Economic Development Association (MEDA) was founded in 1971 by visionary business leaders in the Twin Cities as a way to bridge the racial and economic gap by providing business development programs and services to entrepreneurs of color. In its history, MEDA has served more than 18,000 clients and started 460 growing businesses.
