The Marshall Economic Summit Leadership Conference was created to bring a community together around the topic of economic development and moving forward with a growth focus. If we can’t get the leaders to the places where the thought leaders on economic growth are, we are going to bring the thought leaders to them. Not only that, but they’ll actually have fun and be engaged throughout the event. For a three-hour discussion on economics, that takes creativity! In the process, the summit strengthens community resolve to work together, identifies weaknesses and opportunities, and builds a more inclusive and engaged pipeline of community leaders.
