Global Trade Conference

Add comment May 15th, 2008

Tuesday I spent some time at the Go Global or Get Left Behind conference at NIU-Rockford Center. Along with me I brought two high school students from Auburn and Guilford who won this year’s Rockford in 20 essay competition.

After talking to them and listening to the conference, it made me realize how vital Rockford’s role is in the global market and how many of our youth are more prepared than we think to succeed in the global economy.

Do you think our youth are ready?
