Big10 Universities/Minneapolis FED Meet on Midwest Economy

EXCERPT:
Motivated by a desire to draw attention to the vital role the Midwest plays in the life of the nation and to highlight challenges the region faces to remain economically competitive, the provosts from the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), a consortium of the Big Ten universities plus the University of Chicago, have partnered with the Federal Reserve Banks of Minneapolis and Chicago to bring together key leaders for an economic summit Thursday, June 26 and Friday 27 at the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis.

University leaders, leaders of regional banks, chief executive officers, government leaders, economists, researchers and professors will come together to find ways to break down barriers that prevent them from effectively working together to build a vital Midwest economy. The summit, “Developing a Regional View of the Midwest Economy: Breaking Down Barriers That Impede Regional Progress,” is sponsored by the University of Minnesota, the CIC and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
