ED Futures Newsletter, January 28, 2006

Dear ED Futures Subscriber:

Most noteworthy from this week's postings to the ED Futures Journal is the keynote speech I delivered at the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Leadership Summit on January 23, 2006 in St. Petersburg, Florida. You can download a PDF copy of my speech, which is based on my new book, Creating Leadership Advantage for Economic Development. Note: the book will be available at the end of April. Stay tuned. I would be very interested in your comments on the speech. The speech was very well-received, which is hopefully a positive indication of how the book will be received. Email Don Iannone here.
