October HU Foundation Breakfast on Economic Issues

On Wednesday, October 10, the Huntington University Foundation will kick off its 2018-2019 Foundation Breakfast series with a focus on economic development led by Mark Wickersham, executive director of Huntington County Economic Development Corporation. Weighing in on the conversation will be Rich Card, plant manager of Gerdau; Eric Bricker, plant manager of Ecolab; and Sherilyn Emberton, president of Huntington University.

“Economic development is crucial for every community,” stated Mike Zahn, Huntington University Foundation president. “Join us as Mark Wickersham and others provide an economic update.”

“The Huntington University Foundation has always served as a vital link between the institution and the community,” said Wickersham. “[The Foundation Breakfast is] an excellent opportunity to learn more about, and financially support, the activities of the entire campus community. I’m honored to be given the chance to participate in the October program and look forward to presenting a brief report of my agency’s role in the industrial development efforts in Huntington County.”
