Meyer Beckner
Meyer joined the CEDA team in March 2026. He holds a Master's in Urban and Regional Planning from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Prior to joining CEDA, Meyer built his skills in community engagement, economic development, and small business support. He loves bridging strategic and technical knowledge into a story that leads a community forward.
Growing up in a small town in MN he saw how trust and partnership open the door to the opportunities that exist in our rural places. His home in the "Driftless Region" provides the loveliest backdrop to run, ski, and appreciate the outdoors. If it's too cold, you will find him learning something new via a book, film, or chatting over a cup of coffee.
