"Best Practices in Regional Economic Development" 2010 Series

In 2010, we will continue our successful "Best Practices in Regional Economic Development" series. Our program is open to all members of the Greater St. Louis Economic Development Network.

This year's speaker series will bring local economic developers face-to-face with some timely and relevant issues presented by top leaders in their respective fields. This is a rare opportunity to gain insight directly from top experts who have honed the "best practices" for cultivating regional growth and sustainability.

Our topics will include: METRO's strategic plan, plant science and nutrition target, advanced manufacturing and technology, and financial and information services.

We hope you'll join us for all six sessions. Have questions? Please contact Jim Alexander at 314-444-1135 or by email at jalexander@stlrcga.org.
