Proving Your ROI in an Era of Uncertain Funding
Join us July 8 @ 2 PM ET for a critical conversation: Dr. Chris Chmura, Chmura’s CEO and Chief Economist; and Jeff Finkle, the Former President & CEO of the International Economic Development Council (IEDC), will discuss the latest updates on public funding for economic development and related organizations.
Jeff Finkle and Dr. Chris Chmura will tackle audience questions and share actionable insights in an extended Q&A.
See the risk clearly. We’ll unpack the four macro forces driving today’s policy shifts and why funding from programs like CDBG and EDA is under heightened pressure—leaving state dollars fiercely contested.
Spot the opportunity. Discover alternative capital streams—expanded state initiatives, public‑private partnerships, and more.
Turn data into dollars. Walk through a real data‑driven ROI campaign using tools like JobsEQ, labor‑shed analysis, and economic impact modeling.
We hope you can join us. If you can't join the live event, register anyway and we'll send you a recording of the session. Please register with your company/organization email. Gmail addresses will generally not be accepeted.
