Cowork Owner Cook on Economic Outlook Panel

Please tune in to Economic Outlook this week as the show focuses on the topic of coworking and its impact on economic development. The show airs Friday, January 6 at 8:30 pm and repeats Sunday, Jan. 8 at 12:30 pm on local channels of public broadcasts of WNIT. 

Hosted by Phil D’Amico, the Director of Business Growth at the Chamber of Commerce of St. Joseph County, this stimulating 30-minute program reaches out to the business and educational decision-makers who explore the risks and opportunities at work in today’s markets. Selected panel discussions focus on issues around economic growth, the impact of education on economic development, key industry sectors, the impact of trade on employment, and a host of related issues.

Andrea Cook, co-owner of The Midas Center Cowork Space in downtown Plymouth, Indiana will participate as a panelist for the show to be aired this week. She shares, “Coworking in rural communities can have a positive impact for economic development for communities who support independent professionals. It is an attractive draw for innovative and entrepreneurial types of professionals.” This emerging trend of coworking has many benefits to professionals and the communities that support coworking as a vital economic tool.

Cook has written an ebook titled, “65 Reasons to Cowork” and it can be downloaded for free here >> 

The show will be available online along with the other episodes after the program airs later this week. You may view this here >>
