If you haven't heard, I am transitioning from the Federal Reserve Bank of a Kansas City. I will be starting at the International Economic Development Council as VP of Strategy in March. To honor the great people I have worked with the past 12 years I will be posting TONS of pics!

12 Years of Ecosystems at the Fed - First up is the great "Gang of 5" @mariaemeyers Don Macke Steve Radley & Penny Lewandowski! We help move the field towards a greater focus on entrepreneurship ecosystems!

12 Years of Ecosystems at the Fed - Also, we need to include Erik Pedersen Rob Williams and Kate Hodel to the gang of five, so more like gang of 8. I believe these were all at the 2017 thought leader summit at the Fed.

12 Years of Ecosystems at the Fed - Next up the two men I consider the "Godfathers". egman Chris Gibbons, founder of Economic Gardening and Rodney Sampson the founder of inclusive ecosystem building. Both from the 2017 thought leader summit.

I went back through our database. Since 2011, I have held roughly 520 presentations or events at the Fed reach 42,000 people in 26 states, plus DC and San Juan! Crazy to think about.

Suggesting, as most do, that there is a problem in the ecosystem because Group X doesn't live up to the standards of dominant group Y is problematic. Maybe group X wants to be a better version of group X. I mean if I want shrimp and you say I need to eat steak........

If you are an ecosystem builder and looking to have national and international impact, consider applying for the open position of Economic Development Ecosystem Builder here IEDC it is a remote position, and it is a great organization to work for! iedconline.org/career-opportu…
