About the Event:

Understanding Maine’s Economy: Statewide Drivers and Local Impact 

Join MEREDA for a data-driven breakfast conversation on Maine’s economic outlook, with a focused lens on the Greater Bangor region. This panel will bring together leaders in economic development, finance, healthcare, and higher education to explore the forces shaping Maine’s economy — and what they mean for Bangor’s future.

The discussion will open with a statewide economic snapshot, highlighting key trends in workforce, population, industry growth, and investment. Panelists will then connect those trends to regional impacts, including business expansion, housing demand, healthcare employment, and commercial development in the Bangor area.

A central theme of the conversation will be workforce and talent — from recruitment and retention challenges to education-to-employment pipelines and cross-sector collaboration. Panelists will also examine economic development and investment, including access to capital, infrastructure readiness, and Bangor’s role as a regional hub for healthcare, education, and commerce.

Attendees will gain insight into how statewide economic conditions intersect with local opportunities, and how collaboration across sectors can support sustainable growth for Bangor and communities throughout Maine.

Confirmed Speakers:  Peter DelGreco, Maine & Co., Amanda Rector, Maine State Economist, Guy Hudson, MD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer of Northern Light Health, Tony McKim, President and CEO of The First N.A, and Jason Harkins, Maine Business School, as the moderator.

Refund Policy: Your RSVP is requested by May 28. Payment is expected at the time of registration. No refunds will be granted to anyone who registers, but fails to attend, or who cancels after May 28.  Prices increase by $10 after May 28.
