Next Board Meeting: December 16, 2025
The Board has these primary purposes:
To provide strategic resources (data, leadership, education, publications, models, staff time, funds, etc.) for the region’s economic and community vitality.
To provide a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for use by community officials, businesses and organizations.
To discuss and create macro-level recommendations for impact around the core elements of the CEDS.
To connect and support regional networks around topics related to economic and community vitality.
To provide oversight for financial and operational effectiveness. This is done largely through three committees: Executive/Governance; Finance/Audit; Career Education Advisory Council. If you would like agendas or minutes for any of these committees, please contact Networks Northwest at 231-929-5000.
