📈 Call it: incremental optimism.    📊 For our sixth installment of The Index (the Chamber’s public opinion research project), almost every measure moved in the right direction, even if just by a couple of percentage points.   But we want more than that, and the data shows a clear path forward, which is for leaders to get back to basics. 80% of Seattle voters agree the city has enough money to address important priorities, leaders just need to spend it more effectively.     The Chamber is with them, and we will continue to pursue progress on key issues impacting the Puget Sound region. https://bit.ly/49GUY2j

A strategy often talked about but not always practiced when it comes to economic development... Regionalism. Last week I came across two great examples of putting talk into action that reinforce regionalism as one of the best practices in economic development (see both links below) The Maryland National Capital Region Economic Development Alliance (MNCREDA) was recognized by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments for regional partnership and Mark Barbash was featured in Crain's Cleveland Business commenting on the power of cooperation between Columbus and Cleveland (OH), and the recent successes of Ohio is newsworthy. (As one of the founding members of the MNCREDA along with David Iannucci, I was proud to see that the Alliance is being recognized. Congratulations Team MNCREDA!) A lot of success stories come across my feed, but they are usually about the individual accomplishments of the good work being done by state or local economic development agencies. But it was interesting to see both posts in the same week touting the benefits of regionalism. It is oftentimes difficult to establish meaningful partnerships that truly work for the benefit of a larger region where several "competitors" work together to bring home a win. It takes a group of dedicated leaders to come together and understand that - as a region - they are in the same ocean, and if they can put words into action and row in the same direction, the tide will come in to lift all the boats! https://lnkd.in/eGZkNibr https://lnkd.in/eAShNWfW #grants #economicdevelopment #governmentrelations #coachingandmentoring #leadershipdevelopment
