State of the Tri-Lakes Region Lunch: From Fed to Front Door

Join business and community leaders for the State of the Tri-Lakes Region Lunch, From Fed to Front Door, as we follow the economic story from national policy all the way to the Front Range.

Our keynote speaker, William Craighead, Program Director for the UCCS Economic Forum, will break down what’s happening at the Federal Reserve and in the broader economy, then connect the dots to what it means for our local employers, workforce, and households.

We’ll also hear local updates and perspectives from:

• Mayor Mitch LaKind, Town of Monument
• Mayor Dennis Stern, Town of Palmer Lake
• El Paso County Commissioners
• Terri Hayes, President & CEO of Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce​                                                                                                                                     

Together, they’ll highlight current projects, challenges, and opportunities shaping the Tri-Lakes area in the year ahead—giving you practical insight you can take straight back to your business, organization, or front door.
