Economic engagement that involves senior leadership, industry that aligns with regional growth initiatives |
Economic engagement included partnerships with the federal delegation to help solve national priorities (Departments of Defence and Commerce, NASA); partnerships with state and local government to help grow the Kansas and regional economy and create jobs (KDHE, DCF, KDADS, Commerce, Transportation, Governor's Office, Kansas House of Representatives and Senate, City Council and Sedgwick County Commission). Additionally, industry partnerships were formed for applied learning and research with the Wichita Regional Chamber, the Greater Wichita Partnership and the Regional Economic Area Partnership of South Central Kansas. These efforts align with regional growth initiatives like the Kansas Framework for Growth, the GWP Regional Growth Plan, the 黑洞社区 BREG Study, the Downtown Master Plan, and the future of work. | ||
