The first Leadership Conference was held on March 5 providing local elected officials along with economic development organizations the opportunity to convene and hear from highly regarded speakers in fields of economic development and site selection. The conference keynote speaker, Will Hearn of Site Dynamics, CH2M Hill, spoke about the site selection process and how Southwest Indiana could market its strengths as new trends emerge. Hearn, who earlier toured the University of Southern Indiana’s newly created Applied Engineering Center, was impressed to see how Southwest Indiana is striving to become an innovation corridor through assets like USI’s new center or the opening of I-69 linking Evansville to NSWC Crane.
Approximately 80 participants attended the Leadership Conference, which was sponsored by Zeimer, Stayman, Weitzel & Shoulders, LLP and hosted by the Southern Indiana Career & Technical Center in Evansville.

2.) Choosing a design firm.
3.) Representing….oops, I meant: Working with the media.
