Someone once said - we are only limited by our imagination. Former State Economist and current President of the Maine Development Foundation, Laurie Lachance, who has been analyzing and forecasting Maine's economic performance for 25 years, takes you on a journey - to imagine all that Maine is and all that it could be and to instill pride in and hope for Maine's future. Just imagine a state where the people are creative and practical, the companies are innovative and resourceful, and the culture honors the past, celebrates the present, and engages in shaping the future. Iterations of this speech were presented at the following events: Western Maine Legislative Caucus Breakfast October 12, 2007; USM School of Business Executive Forum October 23, 2007; MDOL Statewide Employer Assistance Team Meeting March 12, 2008; and A Governor’s Regional Conference on Small Business and Entrepreneurship May 20, 2008.
