The International Economic Development Council is excited to announce our newest keynote speaker for the 2010 Federal Economic Development Forum, Mr. Charles O. Holliday Jr. As the Chairman and CEO of DuPont, Chad Holliday increased his company's profitability while championing sustainable business practices. A successful international business leader who led one of the world's major manufacturing corporations, Mr. Holliday will provide Federal Economic Development Forum attendees with a unique perspective on what it takes for the U.S. to thrive in the face of intense global competition.

Currently Chairman Emeritus for the Council on Competitiveness, Mr. Holliday is a proven leader at bringing together private, public, and academic sectors to secure national prosperity. Communities across the country increasingly find that their top competitors are not just the community next door, but are also communities half a world away. Economic developers must focus on international as well as national markets. Mr. Holliday will keynote the plenary session titled: U.S. Competitiveness in the Global Economy.

Join IEDC and Charles O. Holliday, Jr. as we discuss national competitiveness in a globally competitive world.
