Let Your Voice Be Heard
As We Build This Region's Economic Competitiveness
Danville Regional Foundation (DRF) is thinking about investment strategies in the near, and long-term, directed at helping build a stronger economy for the DRF region. As a part of this effort, DRF has hired Ted Abernathy to help them get a better idea of the national trends that are, or could be, coming around the corner and their impact on the DRF region. Ted is the former President and CEO of the Southern Growth Policies Board, currently is the economic adviser to the Southern Governor's Association, and has been a leader in economic development and trend spotting for many years.
Recognizing the importance of young professionals' input on this topic, we're asking you to help us by participating in a focus group. As current and future leaders for this region, we think it's important for Ted to get your thoughts about the region's economic future, early in this process.
