BIG CHANGES COMING THIS YEAR FOR THE NEBRASKA DIPLOMATS

12 Apr 2017

The Nebraska Diplomats will be sponsoring five regional events in place of their annual Business and Industry Day in May and Passport Weekend in September. This change will allow the Diplomats and the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) a unique opportunity to visit and hear from various regions of Nebraska. It will also be an opportunity to bring business and industry leaders together with economic development professionals to receive an update on statewide strategies from DED, discuss regional strategies to maximize opportunities, tour area industries and workforce training facilities, and celebrate the accomplishments of regional leaders at a Diplomat award ceremony.

The first event will be held in Norfolk on June 1. That event will encompass:

A roundtable discussion about regional strategies and challenges
Regional awards luncheon
Updates from the Department of Economic Development
Tours
Golf and/or Kayak activity
