Month-long celebration to mark CDA’s 30th anniversary

Share

The Commonwealth Development Authority will be kicking off its month-long 30th anniversary celebration this March.

CDA was established through Public Law 4-49 signed by former governor Pedro Tenorio on May 31, 1985 with its functions to be carried out by two divisions—the Development Banking Division and the Development Corporation Division.

However, CDA postponed celebrating due to the event that happened last year including Typhoon Soudelor.

A budget of $20,000 was approved for their anniversary project.

This will be the first time that CDA will hold a big celebration to mark their three decades of service.

To kick off, CDA will speak on the radio today to talk about their programs.

CDA will also hold open houses every Monday of this month.

They will also hold a stakeholders’ meeting for each of the island starting on March 8 for Tinian at their Nothern Marianas College campus, followed by Saipan on March 10 at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center, and on Rota on March 16 at the NMC campus there.

CDA’s business plan competition will have its participants present their entries on Nov. 18.

A profit mastery workshop will be held on Mar. 22 to 23, in partnership with the Saipan Chamber of Commerce.

CDA will close its celebrations on March 30 and 31 with a logo ranking and a raffle draw.
