Ed Morrison · More on an evening with Joe Cortright in Akron
January 2nd, 2010
Coming up, Joe Cortright will be in Akron on Tuesday, January 12. (Call 330-972-8859 or email julie2@uakron.edu to register.)
Cortright is a gifted regional economist and a major force behind the CEOs for Cities work on how cities should craft their economic development strategies. He developed the important City Vitals report. (Download link.)
This work has led CEOs for Cities to launch a national tour to promote the idea of a “talent dividend” for improving educational attainment in cities. You can see the locations the Talent Dividend tour in the map below. Click on a map pin and you can get more details on each stop of the tour.

In NEO, the Northeast Ohio Council on Higher Education sponsored a Talent Dividend event in September. You can learn more here.
