The Rotary Club, whose purpose is to
bring together business and professional leaders in order to
provide humanitarian
service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world, is hoping to
attract local business people to join them for a presentation by the Greater
Portland Council of Government’s (GPCOG) Executive Director, Ms. Kristina Egan.
The Rotary Club has invited Ms. Egan because her agency is
currently working with area local governments and agencies to address issues of
today, as well as making preparations for the future. Ms. Egan will be focusing
her remarks on the following five topic areas: Smart Growth, Transportation,
Economic Development, Energy and Public Health and their potential impact on
the greater Sebago Lake business community. (see www.gpcog.org)
Tony Plante, Rotary Club president, and GPCOG’s Director of Municipal Collaboration said, “What
transpires within each of these focus areas will have both immediate and future
impacts on our local businesses and their ability to grow and prosper. Having Ms. Egan share the work and thinking of
the GPCOG will help local business people plan for and adapt to the likely
future growth and development within our region.”
A light lunch will be provided to attendees. The cost will be
$10 per person. Ample opportunity will be available to network with attendees
as well as to ask questions and voice your concerns directly with the people,
like Ms. Egan, whose work today will likely affect our future business
environment.
Individuals interested in attending the luncheon are urged to
contact Marge Barker of the Sebago Lake Rotary Club at margebarker173@gmail.com to reserve one or more seats. Tables, each
holding up to six people, will also be available to reserve.
Reservations are encouraged in order to get an approximate
head count for the caterer, Pat’s Pizza. Attendees
may pay in advance, or at the door. Early registration is encouraged since the
Veterans Center capacity for such an event is a maximum of 125 people.
