Thank you so much for being a part of our 2016 State of the Region! We had an amazing turnout of over 165 people, wonderful and informative presentations, and a great opportunity to meet the Rising Stars in our communities. Ron Wirtz, regional outreach director for the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, shared economic data on La Crosse and compared the city to three other local metros as well as Wisconsin as a whole. Also on Wednesday, The 7 Rivers Public Policy Intern, Jeremy Ames, presented the results of the organization’s business survey at the luncheon and DCS Netlink CEO Dane Deutsch spoke on the issue of business cyber security. We are excited about the results of this event and are busy starting to plan the 2017 State of the Region.
