Old guard vs. new guard. Family Feud. Audience participation. A few zingers. A whole lot of laughs. And some great perspective. Our closing session, “The Great(er) Debate,” had it all, engaging teams of VEDA Cardinals, Emerging Leaders and a few special guests in a series of lively and insightful discussions. What a brilliant way to drive conversation around the evolution, art and science of economic development. Cheers to our VEDA Cardinals Florence Kingston, Jay A. Langston, Ph.D., Debbie Melvin, and Elizabeth Povar, and our Emerging Leaders Abigail Patterson, Danielle Poe, Chance Robinson, MPP and Olivia Wright for participating. And a special thanks to the Bryan Rothamel, CEcD for hosting! #GoVEDA
