Moberly, MO – Moberly Area Economic Development Corporation, MAEDC, announces its selection of Michael Bugalski as President. Bugalski has been Interim President since January 1 and before that was the organization’s Vice President. Bugalski’s first day as President will be March 16.
The Board of Directors conducted a search in the first quarter of 2019, and made its selection at a February meeting. Jim Bratcher, Chairman of MAEDC added, “Michael was a strong candidate with us since the beginning, and we have been pleased with the way he has operated on an Interim basis. Removing the Interim label was the right decision for us and we feel enthusiastic about the future.”

MAEDC has built a stellar reputation and I am proud to have been a part of it for almost three years.
