IUK Focusing on Regional Economy Posted on May 23, 2011 by editor KOKOMO, Ind. – Indiana University Kokomo Chancellor Michael Harris will meet with leaders from across north central Indiana on campus Monday, May 23, in a forum regarding the importance of utilizing metrics in regional transformation. Since launching its effort for regional transformation in October 2010, IU Kokomo has continued its commitment to economic and educational development in the 14 counties it serves. “Indiana University Kokomo believes in and follows IU President Michael McRobbie’s vision for regional campuses as we continue to be one of the major educational and economic resources in north central Indiana,” said Harris. “We are honored and excited to be instrumental in organizing this meeting, allowing regional organizations to learn more about each other and exchange ideas to transform the region.” Jerry Conover, director of the Indiana Business Research Center (IBRC) at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, will be the keynote speaker. At the request of IU Kokomo, Conover is conducting a benchmarking analysis of key economic and demographic indicators for the IU Kokomo region and peer communities. IU Kokomo will use the resulting information to work with community leaders to understand and enhance the region’s economic competitiveness and advance its quality of life. Prior to the forum, regional organizations will meet on this campus to become more informed of each other’s purpose and regional activities. IU Kokomo partnered with the Purdue Center for Regional Development and the Ivy Tech Kokomo and Lafayette campuses in planning the first Regional Organizations Collaborative (ROC).
