Summer is here and I want to let each of you know that registration for OEDA's Summer Training Workshop is open. The upcoming training will be held in Corvallis on July 23rd, from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The workshop is titled "Business Recruitment: Your Prospect Knows Way More About You Than You Know About Them".

The seminar will include a workshop on current trends in business recruitment led by an site selection consultant; and, panel sessions with economic developers talking about Oregon case studies and lessons learned from recent recruitment projects. The training will focus on both rural and urban recruitment. Details on the panelists and site selector will be forthcoming. To register for this upcoming event [click here].
