GBA Breakfast Series: Lessons from Regional Growth
Join the Gaston Business Association for an engaging GBA Breakfast Series conversation focused on regional growth and the lessons Gaston County can learn from communities that have already experienced significant transformation.
This session will spotlight Hickory’s growth journey through a panel discussion featuring leaders who played a pivotal role in shaping the region’s success. Hear firsthand from Lindsay Keisler, President & CEO of The Chamber of Catawba County; Meg Nealon, AICP, PLA of NealonPlanning and former LandDesign leader; and Yaidee Fox, Assistant City Manager for the City of Hickory as they share insights on economic development, strategic planning, community investment, and managing growth.
As Gaston County continues to evolve, this discussion will provide valuable perspective on what worked, challenges faced along the way, and strategies that can help our region plan for sustainable success. Enjoy breakfast, networking, and a forward-looking conversation on shaping Gaston County’s future.
A special thank you to Responsive Technology Partners, our Breakfast Sponsor, for supporting this important discussion and helping bring business and community leaders together to learn from regional success stories.
