On October 23, LeeAnn Nixon of Wilkes EDC attended the Piedmont Triad Partnership’s Annual Meeting at the Peters Quarters Event Center in High Point. The program was sponsored by NC Carolina Core, with Dr. Lenny Peters serving as the major event sponsor through Peters Development LLC, the full-service real estate development firm behind Bethany Medical. The meeting featured a keynote address from Hideto Yamasaki, President & CEO of Honda Aircraft Company, followed by a presentation on the region’s economic outlook from Ted Abernathy, CEO of Economic Leadership, LLC.
The event offered a valuable opportunity for regional leaders to come together, discuss priorities, and celebrate ongoing successes in economic development. Following the meeting, attendees continued networking at the Triad Business Journal’s “Power Players” reception.
Participation in programs like this underscores the Carolina Core region’s commitment to collaboration and highlights the role of local leaders in driving economic growth across North Carolina.
