You won’t want to miss this insightful conversation with guest speaker, Deana Sheriff, past Economic Development Director for Delta County, on how she creates jobs in rural Colorado.

Deana supports many counties in Colorado to understand and accomplish Economic Development goals resulting in more jobs.  She is all about execution and has a straightforward approach.  She will share her story on how the process she designed worked in Delta, how it was funded, plus the successes and challenges.

Deana brings her rural expertise to Chaffee County and this is a great time to get your economic development questions answered from the expert recognized by her peers as the Best Economic Development program in the State of Colorado.

Deana worked in Economic Development with Tom Clark, who now heads up Economic Development for Denver and Colorado.  Tom was part of the circle that envisioned an international airport and convention center for Denver which enhanced Colorado for visitors.
