WealthWorks Presentation at the 21st Annual Conference on the Adirondacks

I began my work in the Adirondacks as a graduate student at Cornell University, over 30 years ago.  Recently I presented WealthWorks: A Wealth Creation Approach to Community & Economic Development at the 21st Annual Conference on the Adirondacks. Adirondack communities, non-profits and governments have spent the past several years identifying a shared vision for development through the Adirondack Common Ground Alliance.  I believe WealthWorks, with its focus on being demand driven, creating multiple forms of wealth that stick, and bringing entrepreneurs into relationship with one another to capture market opportunities, can provide some concrete guidance on how to realize that vision.
