On November 14th, we held our 3rd annual State of the Region event at the AmercInn in La Crosse, WI. The purpose of the event is to inform and give insights into how the region is doing economically through different discussions and presentations. The focus of this year’s event was on workforce shortage and affordable conditions for employees. If you are interested in the material throughout the event, we have attached the presentation for you to view located at the bottom of this page. Please reach out to 7 Rivers Alliance at info@7riversalliance.org if you have questions or comments.
