Deane Foote, a Founding Board Member of the Site Selector’s Guild, recently attended the ‘Lakeside with the Guild’ Event at Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri

The Missouri Partnership and the Missouri Economic Development Council hosted the event attended by 10 members of the Site Selectors Guild, and over 30 economic development practitioners from around the state. Numerous productive roundtable discussions took place during the day and half session, including topics such as: best practices for success, growth industry trends, certified sites, site tours and prospect visits, the RFP process, incentives, Right to Work, and websites/marketing. The Guild members also participated in a session with state legislators to discuss site selection issues. The bottom line: Guild members are now better prepared to discuss Missouri with corporate clients that are looking to expand!
