Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, in partnership with the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) and the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC), will host a series of one-day complimentary Regional Economic Development Roundtable Symposia in 2007. Each symposium will focus on a theme relevant to the region and will feature regional strategies, policies, and best practices to create jobs and economic opportunity. Speakers include regional and national leaders from the private and public sectors. Each symposium will offer opportunities for learning, networking, and idea-sharing with other participants.
