Explore best practices for regional economic development with others interested in understanding basic principles that they can apply within their municipalities.

Come away from the seminar with a framework for promoting economic development initiatives for your municipality. Also share concerns and opportunities to help improve economic development and conditions which lead to growth for the area.

In additional to a multidisciplinary panel of economic development experts, Mary Lamie will be our keynote speaker. Mary is currently the Executive Director at St. Louis Regional Freightway where she develops public-private partnerships and creates the foundation for planning, marketing and advocacy of the bistate region as a national freight hub. Previously Mary worked as the Deputy Director Region 5 Engineer for the Illinois Department of Transportation.
