Business and Community Forum planned for April 17
Local economic development organizations will come together this spring for the second annual Algona Business and Community Forum. This free event will be held on Thursday, April 17 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Tietz Entrepreneurial Center on the Algona campus of Iowa Lakes Community College.
Representatives from the City of Algona, Algona Area Economic Development Corporation, Algona Municipal Utilities, Algona Area Chamber of Commerce, Kossuth/Palo Alto County Economic Development and the Tietz Entrepreneurial Center will host the forum. Organizations will share a brief update on the past year’s activities as well as information on community economic development initiatives. The forum will be interactive, with participants having the opportunity to ask questions.
“We hosted a collaborative forum for the first time last spring and around 60 people joined us for that event,” said John Bilsten, President of the Algona Area Economic Development Corporation and General Manager of Algona Municipal Utilities. “Those who came appreciated the updates and opportunity to offer input and ask questions about initiatives that are underway. We are looking forward to continuing that conversation this year.”
The Business and Community Forum is intended for local business owners or representatives, managers, administrators, human resources or marketing professionals. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.
To learn more about the event, please contact the Algona Area Chamber of Commerce at 515-295-7201 or email info@algona.org.
