HAYS CALDWELL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP
Though Texas and local economies have slowed a bit from a year ago, they are still booming. The Hays Caldwell Economic Development Partnership hosted its annual Economic Outlook to bring together local leaders to discuss the factors at play and ways to bolster local industries. Texas State University President Kelly Damphousse gave the opening remarks, and the keynote speaker for the evening was Luis Torres, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas - San Antonio senior business economist. There was a panel discussion moderated by Mike Kamerlander, HCEDP president and CEO, that included Aaron Demerson, the Texas Economic Development Corporation president and CEO, Gabriela Perdichizzi, the Texas Association of Business government and external relations vice president, and Tony Bennett, Texas Association of Manufacturers president and CEO.
Damphousse said the Economic Outlook gets at the heart of exactly what TXST aims to do — shape the region through workforce development and quality education.
