Last year, six of the panelists participated in a similar forum at which they shared their vision of regional cooperation. The forum highlighted several success stories of efforts by local units of government to consolidate services and pursue joint initiatives with neighboring communities. The panel also noted a number of opportunities that exists for further joint ventures. How much progress is being made in regionalism? What can be done to speed the pace of progress? Those questions and more will be discussed in what promises to be a lively Economic Club forum.
The Economic Club Luncheon is sponsored by Fahey Schultz Burzych Rhodes PLC. Tickets prices are $40 for individual tickets and $300 for tables of eight. Tickets include lunch.
