Published 1:30 am Wednesday, November 16, 2016
Need more data and information to make knowledgeable decisions about your business or as a community legislator or leader? Join the San Juan County Economic Development Council for their first-ever Datapalooza! event — two hours of in-depth data and analysis of our economy and demographics, plus lunch and conversation from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Friday, Dec. 2 on Orcas Island.
This year’s program, sponsored in part by Island Market, will include presentations by noted speakers James McCafferty, director of WWU’s Center for Economic and Business Research, Dr. Anneliese Vance-Sherman, regional labor economist for Washington, and Victoria Compton, director of the San Juan County Economic Development Council. The presentations will explore our region’s economy and demographics – past, present and future – including industry, employment and sales data, and current trends. This in-depth analysis will enable leaders and businesspeople to make informed decisions about issues that affect our community and economy.
Details: Orcas Island, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m., Friday, Dec. 2 at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church parish hall in Eastsound. Tickets are $19 and advance payment is required. Please visit www.sanjuansedc.org/datapalooza to reserve your space. For questions, please call 378-2906 or email info@sanjuansedc.org.
