Industry Clusters Check back often for new meeting dates As competition expands, demand changes, and technology eliminates borders, how do business people find ways to identify new markets and satisfy customers? Thanks to the Progress Initiative, seven Industry Clusters have emerged and each seeks to identify opportunities for its industry, find ways to remove impediments to growth, and work together to help strengthen its industry and this community. Get an updated look at what these busy clusters are up to in our community.
