Economic Development Annual Meeting Over the past three years, Wake County has experienced unprecedented success with several transformational economic development projects. Wake County is also one of the fastest growing metros in the nation. This puts Wake County in a select group of metros that are experiencing similar high degrees of success, growth, challenges, and opportunities. We will hear from leaders from three peer metros to learn how they addressed similar challenges and seized on the opportunities. Peer Metro Panel - Charisse Bodisch, Senior Vice President of Economic Development, Austin Chamber of Commerce - David Hartnett, Chief Economic Development Officer, Metro Atlanta Chamber - James E. Rooney, President & CEO, Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce We will further the conversation with local leaders to learn how Wake County can tackle the threats to continued success, address the opportunities and challenges of our demographic and economic growth, and can best capitalize on the momentum that is being created.
