CEO Roundtable - Legislative Agenda & Gameplan

GNDC invites members and prospective members to join our final virtual event of the year.
 
2020 has been a year of response and now as we come into the final quarter, it’s time to prepare to move forward. Businesses are making their 2021 plans and will be watching outside forces that will further impact their bottom line. These could include workforce trends and policy developments at the local and federal levels. This CEO Roundtable will focus on these aspects including GNDC's role, ND legislator's goals, and business leaders' perspectives. 
 
Attendees will need to register in advance and can attend all three sessions or select those of interest.
