Best Practices Presentations

The Will County Center for Economic Development’s Transportation and Logistics Council exists for its member’s benefit. In that spirit, presentations are given at meetings that provide information on items that interest and hopefully help our members. The presenters are asked to give factual information that is helpful rather than a commercial for the services or products the presenters may provide. In addition, neither the Will County Center for Economic Development nor the Logistics Council endorses any service, product, presentations or statement of the presenters and their statements are not the statements of the Will County Center for Economic Development or the Logistics Council.
