Economic Network Alliance: Economic Development Week 2026

The Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce invites community members to attend the next Economic Network Alliance (ENA) meeting on Thursday, May 7, from 8:00 – 9:00 AM at the Hampton Inn & Suites, 201 Holiday Drive, Wilmington.

In recognition of Economic Development Week, representatives from agencies involved with economic development throughout the county will provide an update on ongoing partnerships and key projects shaping the future of Clinton County.

Economic Development Week serves as an opportunity to increase awareness of the local programs and initiatives that support job creation, foster career development, and enhance overall quality of life throughout the community. Attendees will gain insight into how collaborative efforts between organizations are driving growth and creating new opportunities for businesses and residents alike.

“This meeting is a great opportunity to see how strong partnerships are making a real impact in Clinton County,” said Dessie Rogers, Executive Director of the Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce. “By working together, we are building a more resilient and forward-thinking local economy.”

In addition to the featured presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with fellow business leaders, nonprofit representatives, and community stakeholders during a dedicated networking session. A complimentary breakfast will be provided by Hampton Inn & Suites.

The Economic Network Alliance is a joint initiative of the Wilmington-Clinton County Chamber of Commerce and the Clinton County Regional Planning Commission. The monthly meeting series is designed to bring together a diverse cross-section of local stakeholders for information sharing, collaboration, and relationship building.

The ENA meets on the first Thursday of each month and is open to Chamber members and the broader community. Learn more by contacting the Chamber at 937-382-2737 or info@wccchamber.com.
