"This program was developed by the Chamber’s Workforce Development Committee to call attention to the economic landscape of the future and its challenges," said David Elliott, chairman of the Workforce Development Committee’s Summit Subcommittee.
"After Mr. Barlow’s presentation, attendees will engage in a discussion through which we hope to identify and consider initiatives for our community to pursue in order to prepare workers, employers and the community at large for the dynamics of a 21st Century economy."
Barlow is president of Creating the Future, Inc., a consulting firm headquartered in Michigan. He is a frequent speaker on the influences which will affect industry, organizational, professional and community settings.
