2018: Enhancing and maintaining prosperity during shifting economic times

The West Central Mountains Economic Development Council invites you to participate in the 2018 West Central Mountains Economic Summit. Now in our third year, the Summit brings together community members, leaders and regional businesses with experts in economic and community development to find solutions to the challenges of the day. The focus during this year’s Summit will be on areas of critical importance to our region. We’ll also share a brief update on what we have accomplished in the last year, and what the future holds in store.

AGENDA:

  • INTRODUCTION: This year’s summit will include a professional facilitator, Gary Thompson from Redfish Bluefish, as well as a silent auction with some great items from vendors across our region.
