Economic Collaborative of Northern Arizona (ECoNA) — View Webinars Providing Insights to 5-Year Strategic Plan

Good afternoon,

Late last month, we released our comprehensive 5-year Strategic Plan, a roadmap for economic growth in northern Arizona that was created for ECoNA by Elliott D. Pollack & Co. and IO, Inc.

Over the past few weeks, representatives of those companies have been leading a series of webinars that drill down on three key aspects of the plan: housing challenges, the local labor shed, and sectors that northern Arizona should be targeting for greater prosperity.

What’s made these webinars fascinating is not only the in-depth analysis provided by Danny Court and Ioanna Morfessis, the principal authors of the roadmap, but also the insightful questions from webinar participants as we study where northern Arizona is now – and where we want to be headed.

Completing this Strategic Plan, of course, is just the first step on that journey. In November, the Executive Board of ECoNA will be working during its retreat to determine how we implement this plan into action.

In the meantime, we know many of you couldn’t make the webinars, but wanted to hear some of the analysis from the report. You can view the webinars by clicking the links below:

• Housing Conditions & Gap Assessment
• Labor Shed
• Targeted Sector Analysis

Thank you for your interest. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the Strategic Plan as we all work together to move our region forward.
