Many people take for granted that as a community, it is important to have someone out there “selling” the Sioux City Metro area. There is no one better to do just that than Chris McGowan, VP of The Siouxland Initiative (economic development arm of the chamber).
“Chris McGowan gave a great speech, about the successes of Siouxland Initiative, at the annual MAEDC (Mid America Economic Development Council) Competitive Conference in Chicago, Illinois last week. As a member of the MAEDC board, it made me very proud to live in Siouxland and be associated with the Siouxland Initiative. Keep up the good work, Chris!” -Brad Howard, Economic Development Consultant,MidAmerican Energy
Most of the time recruiting businesses and negotiations are kept highly confidential. Here is a sneak peak at what Chris does and how the Initiative has managed to be successful.
