Conference to include update on 'action areas'
Published on Wednesday, Oct 17, 2007
Beacon Journal staff report
Five hundred leaders in the 16-county Northeast Ohio region are going back to school for one full day later this month.
The subject matter falls under the category of ''All you need to know about the region.''
And while there probably won't be much in the way of tests, there will be a progress report.
The fifth Regional Leadership Conference will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 30 at the Kent State University Stark Campus.
Participants will come from 15 community leadership programs, including Leadership Akron, Leadership Portage County, Leadership Stark County and Cleveland Executive Fellowship.
Canton Mayor Janet Weir Creighton, Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams and Hudson Mayor William Currin, the head of the Northeast Ohio Mayors and
City Managers organization, are scheduled to participate.
The program is intended to broaden the participants' understanding of regional assets, demographic and economic drivers, constraints on regional processes, and the individual efforts and broad-based programs that are assisting regional development.
Rob Briggs, chairman of the Fund for Our Economic Future, will provide a progress report on Advance Northeast Ohio. The economic action plan came out of the two-year Voices & Choices program that involved 20,000 area residents.
Advance Northeast Ohio's four ''action areas'' are ''Business Growth & Attraction,'' ''Talent Development,'' Racial and Economic Inclusion'' and ''Government Collaboration and Efficiency.''
