Leadership Clinton County learns about Business and Economic Development
Participants of Leadership Clinton County had the opportunity to learn about the process of economic development by meeting with those who play a huge part in that process. Representatives included Mike Flanagan with the Clinton County Economic Partnership, Betsy Lockwood with SEDA-COG, Lori Gunsallus with PA CareerLink, and Tim Keohane with Penn State Small Business Development Center who all gave an in-depth description of their involvement with economic development in Clinton County. Participants gained a better understanding of the importance of our real estate market from Bob and Josh Boob with Century 211st Choice Realty and they touched on Intergenerational Relationships with Matt Feil, Senior HR Business Partner at First Quality Tissue.
First Quality Tissue served as host for the session and provided an opportunity for the class to learn more about the First Quality family and their sister companies. In addition, the class received a tour of the Lock Haven Tissue site.
Sponsors for the March session were Clinton County Commissioners; Clinton County Community Foundation; Clinton County Economic Partnership; Clinton County: Geisinger Jersey Shore Hospital; First Quality; Leadership Clinton County Alumni Association; M&R Contracting, Inc.; M&T Bank; The PPL Foundation; and Terrapin Care Station.
