President, Council on Competitiveness

Reservation
Deborah L. Wince-Smith heads the Council on Competitiveness, the only national organization that brings together leading CEOs, university presidents and labor leaders to promote U.S. productivity growth, success in global markets and a rising standard of living for all Americans. The Council works on a range of regional, national and global projects formed to drive competitive advantage, including the National Innovation Initiative, which released the groundbreaking Innovate America report. In 2004, Wince-Smith was appointed chairman of Strengthening America's Communities Initiative Federal Advisory Committee, which produced the first detailed assessment of federal investment and policy in regional economic development in almost forty years.

I just got a notice from the good folks at Assemble - http://www.assemblegallery.com - all should definitely check out the Tremont ArtWalk, and the Edge show at Cleveland State will be excellent as well.

For the ArtWalk, Asterisk and Doubting Thomas have great shows scheduled... also, the artist showing at Pilgrim Church is cool, and it is worth seeing the place... I went there with a friend and his kids, a few months ago, and the caretaker took us into the belltower and let the kids ring the bell... Quasimdodo style... real trip
