COLUMBUS, Ind. – The 2024 Annual Meeting of the Greater Columbus Economic Development Corporation (EDC) is scheduled for Wednesday, September 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at The Commons in Columbus.
The annual luncheon attracts the area’s top business, civic, and local government leaders to hear reports on the EDC’s activities to support the economic development of Columbus, Edinburgh, and Bartholomew County.
This year’s guest speaker is Dr. Jim Bullard, the inaugural Dean of Purdue University’s Mitch Daniels, Jr. School of Business.
A noted economist and scholar, Dr. Bullard was previously the longest-serving Federal Reserve Bank president in the country at the St. Louis Fed, where he was also named one of the most influential economists in the world by The Economist magazine.
“We are grateful to welcome a great mix of our community’s movers and shakers to each year’s event,” said Jason Hester, Greater Columbus EDC president. “Our keynote presentation by Dr. Bullard will take the form of a conversational ‘fireside chat’ this year, so attendees can expect engaging, non-scripted observations about the state of our economy and what may be on the horizon.”
The luncheon event is open to the public, but advance ticket purchase is required by visiting www.ColumbusIN.org/AnnualMeeting. Individual tickets are $70 each, and reserved corporate tables of six are available for $420, while seats remain. Phone orders are not available.
