Thank you to Westwood High School for the opportunity to present at your Career Day. I hope my session helped inspire your students to explore a career in economic development. I also incorporated a site selection activity, inspired by Tess Fay, MBA at Global Location Strategies to give them a hands-on understanding of the field. #Careerday #ThefutureofED
