ST. LOUIS - Midwestern governors will talk about ways to spur economic growth and draw additional educated workers to the region during their annual conference today and Friday.
The 34th Midwestern Governors' Conference, chaired by Missouri Gov. Bob Holden, will be held at the Renaissance Grand Hotel in St. Louis.
This year's conference will look at recommendations for how to improve workforce skills, ways to attract more industry reliant on educated workers, and the means to boost research and commercialization potential.
The Midwestern governors' conferences, which began in 1962, are meant to bring together state leaders to work on regional issues, exchange ideas and practices, and offer a means for Midwestern states to help shape national policy.
