Jeff Williams, Co-Owner of Public Policy Associates, was a moderator for several panel discussions this year at the Michigan Economic Developers Association's (MEDA) Annual Meeting. Chris was able to track him down for a discussion.

Jeff indicated that it is important to have a discussion about the future of economic development. He is a public sector consultant, and considers himself heavily involved with public sector think tanks. Jeff explained that his role is not a policy maker, but instead, an information gatherer, so policy makers can make informed decisions.
