St. Louis to host CDFA summit

St. Louis Business Journal - 5:01 PM CDT Tuesday, July 10, 2007

St. Louis will host the national Council of Development Finance Agencies (CDFA) for its 2008 Annual Development Finance Summit.

The summit will be held at the Hyatt Regency at Union Station from April 29 through May 1, 2008.

This year's Summit was held in Miami, Fla., and was the largest in CDFA's 25-year history, according to a release.

"Based upon the feedback we are already getting from inside Missouri and nationally, I expect the 2008 Summit in St. Louis to exceed our attendance in Miami," Toby Rittner, CDFA executive director, said in a statement.

St. Louis County Economic Council Senior Vice President, Rick Palank, serves as CDFA vice president.

Cleveland-based CDFA is a national association dedicated to the advancement of development finance concerns and interests.
