The Knox County Area Partnership is hosting their annual Leadership Breakfast April 17.
The breakfast will be held at Cedar Creek Hall in Galesburg starting at 7:45 AM and will focus on “ideas and directions that economic development can go,” according to KCAP President Ken Springer.
Springer announced who the keynote speaker of the breakfast is.
“Her name is Rachel Bartels and she is the current Executive Director of an organization called Hello, West Michigan. And what Hello, West Michigan is, is they are an economic development organization that solely is focused on the topic of talent recruitment. So what this group does is they recruit skilled workers in the West Michigan region. And so to date they’ve placed around, I want to say, 1,300 professionals.”
The Leadership Breakfast is free and open to the public. Attendees must RSVP by calling (309) 343-1194.
