WEDN 2018

Creative EDC sponsored the third Women’s Leadership Forum in February 2018. The program included placemaking, talent attraction, workforce development, entrepreneurship, and the impact of leaders. The conference gathered over 125 women from the field of economic development. We had a wonderful time learning from and sharing with each other. To read the summary of the 2018 forum, click here .
