Economic development is about more than attracting businesses—it is about creating communities where people, employers, and local economies can thrive.

Join us for Economic Development Is Everyone’s Business, an engaging panel discussion featuring leaders from regional economic development, city government, and higher education. Together, they will explore what happens behind the scenes when communities compete for investment, prepare the workforce, support business growth, and build the conditions for long-term success.

Attendees will gain a better understanding of how departments across local government—from planning and public works to finance, communications, parks, and human resources—contribute to a community’s economic future.

Whether or not “economic development” is in your job title, your work plays a role. Come learn how stronger partnerships can create stronger communities
