A breakfast meeting was held today that brought all 14 strategic partners into a room at one time to share the symbiotic relationships and multiple objectives upon which the city's new strategic economic development plan is formed.
Insightful comments by blue ribbon steering committee members Nell King Bieger and David Wagner were made discussing the work of the steering committee; followed by thoughtful commentary on the importance of the endeavor by three of our strategic partners: Bristol Chamber exec Lisa Meadows; Bristol Regional Medical Center CEO Bart Hove; and King College President Greg Jordan.
Now with the official launch of the plan - the real work begins.
Given the resolve of our partners that was very evident in the room this morning - coupled with the work that is already ongoing to advance the plan - our journey of 1,000 miles has already taken its first step.
And each of our partners is committed to take the next, and the next, and the next.
