Tapogna will compare the economic strengths and competitive disadvantages for each of these cities.

The forum costs $25 for alliance members and $35 for non-members, with an additional $10 for registration received after Monday, May 21. A breakfast buffet will be available to members and guests.

Date/Time: Thursday, May 24, 2012 from 7:30 to 9:00 AM
