The State of Energy Starts Here
The Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce is proud to present an annual showcase of job creation in North Dakota. Explore the impacts of energy and hear Senator John Hoeven keynote the luncheon at the August 17 Summit.
North Dakota leads the nation’s unemployment rate at a mere 3.9 percent and is the only state in the nation with a budget surplus in 2011. Elected officials and business leaders are committed to a favorable legislative landscape and continued innovation to preserve the state’s fiscal and employment leadership position.
Breakthrough technologies and diversity in all energy sectors have led to an abundance of jobs in North Dakota and have made the state a national model for energy development. This will be the focus of the 2011 summit.
We’ll explore the local impacts of our nation’s energy policies, learn about cutting-edge technologies that have paved the way for new energy creation opportunities, and discuss how business, education and policy leaders are working together to create a smart plan for North Dakota’s future.
