On November 13th, we held our 4th annual State of the Region event at the Student Union Bluffs Room on the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse campus. 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 the workforce shortage in the region 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.
