Each month, we at the Professional Learning Lab (Eric Canada, Dean Whittaker, and myself) do our best to bring you the latest in the art and science of economic development through a high level interactive webinar.  This month is no exception.

On Tuesday, March 1st we presented this webinar to economic development pro's from around the US and Canada.

This rebroadcast is availableto you so you can experience the video and audio just as it was heard on the 1st.

Once you sign up I will be notified and will send you the audio link and the handout.  All that's missing is a sharp pencil to take all the notes you'll want to capture from this jam packed webinar! Well...you might want some popcorn too...
