||| FROM JOHN GOMEZ for ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL |||
This year, more than ever, business owners and community leaders and legislators need data and information to make knowledgeable decisions. Join the Economic Development Council (EDC) for our fifth annual Datapalooza! event on Wednesday, December 9, 2020 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. via Zoom. Participants can learn more about how the pandemic affected area industries and employment, while sharing in compelling bring-your-own lunch conversation with the group.
This year’s program, sponsored in part by Island Market, will include presentations by noted speakers James McCafferty, director of WWU’s Center for Economic & Business Research and Dr. Anneliese Vance-Sherman, regional labor economist for the State of Washington.
The presentations will explore our region’s economy and demographics – past, present, and future – including industry, employment, sales data, and current trends. This in-depth analysis will enable leaders and businesspeople to make informed decisions about issues that affect our community and economy.
