2008 and Beyond
Over the past 22 years the Center for Economic Development (CED) at CSU, Chico, founded by Dr. John Sanzone, has worked with regional business and community leaders to address economic development issues throughout Northeastern California. In 2003, the CED partnered with the Northeastern California Small Business Development Center program, with a focus on building a strong regional economy through entrepreneurship.
One of our flagship events each year is the Tri County Economic Forecast Conference. Now in its 8th year, the conference has broad attendance from throughout the North State. The ideas presented and discussion created by the event is an outstanding means of showcasing new ideas and solutions to regional leaders.
This blog will be an opportunity to continue the discussions started as a result of the conference and other region issues affecting our communities. I'll share updates on new information, and it will create an opportunity for regional community members to chime in on their thoughts.
I look forward to hearing from you here, as well as getting your e-mails.
