Writing Our Region’s Next Chapter

Economic development is a major engine that drives our community forward. It also is an industry that is changing rapidly. Today, now more than ever, primary decision-makers focus on talent, culture, and community when they decide whether they should invest in a region.

This virtual summit will be spread out over four weeks to engage our community weekly on relevant topics such as the Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on the Regional Economy, Economic Mobility, Talent, and more. Each one-hour seminar will focus on a new topic and feature a key speaker, along with a WCED team member.

Be a part of the discussion about the driving forces behind this evolution. We also will unveil new findings from the Regional Skills Analysis and talent trends.
