ONE OF THE TOP 50

ONE OF THE TOP 50 – Justin Horvath, the president and CEO of the Shiawassee Economic Development Partnership since it began about 10 years ago, has been named by Consultant Connect as one of the Top 50 Economic Developers in North America. The consulting agency is designed to “bridge the gap between economic developers and site consultants,” it said. The surprise announcement was made during the SEDP’s annual meeting, March 19, at the Baker College Welcome Center, where Horvath is seen in this 2012 file photo.
“The list of North America’s Top 50 Economic Developers was developed as a way to acknowledge the work of these 50 economic development leaders – and elevate the conversation around best practices in the industry,” said Ron Kitchens, managing partner of Consultant Connect. They will be interviewed for a podcast. “Each leader is absolutely deserving of this recognition for the work they do every day to build their communities. The insights they share on our podcast are invaluable and worth every minute of your time to listen to.”
