"Building the Regional Team" 2007 Speakers Series

In 2007, the Regional Economic Development Network participated in the Leadership Institute's "Building the Regional Team" speakers series. Six events brought our local economic developers face-to-face with some of the nation's most renowned site selection and economic development consultants.

Each of our speakers were kind enough to allow us to post a copy of their presentations below. The 2007 presentations will remain through the end of 2008.
