Speaking at Ellensburg
I will be speaking at the Northwest Economic Development Course in Ellensburg, Washington in late August.
Operated by the Washington State Department of Commerce and Business Oregon, this course is renowned throughout the US Pacific Northwest and British Columbia as an outstanding training session for economic developers. A large contingent of BC students are attending this year and rather than having them attend a class on economic development finance that is not relevant in Canada, I will be speaking to the group on “Economic Analysis Tools for BC Communities.”
I’ll be covering economic impact analysis for community projects, as well as performance monitoring and benchmarking of economic data. I’m looking forward to the class, which is comprised almost entirely of economic developers from northern BC, as well as my first visit to the college town of Ellensburg. According to Wikipedia, the town’s population of 15,000 includes about 9,000 students from Central Washington University.



Looking foward to seeing you and your presentation.
