Southern Growth Policies Board’s 2007 Conference, The Southern Workforce Summit, will explore strategies for building a competitive, entrepreneurial workforce to support the region’s economic development initiatives in high-wage, high-growth industries and promote a greater quality of life for all Southerners.

The Southern Workforce Summit will assemble a diverse collection of national and regional leaders to discuss strategies for creating a culture of lifelong learning and entrepreneurship in which workers consistently update their skills; encouraging workers to be more innovative; linking workforce-training initiatives to economic development initiatives; and in building industry-education alliances with higher education and emerging and existing industries.
