There’s been a big promotion at Midwest Partnership, as former economic development coordinator Sarah Gomez, now takes the reigns as CEO, following the departure of former CEO Chad Schreck at the end of October. Gomez says her tenure, and experience with the organization and their partners makes her a good fit, “I’ve been here five years, I felt like I’ve been here long enough, I knew the right people in place, and I felt like it was a natural step for me to take on this position. I’m ready to take the lead and serve our region.”
Midwest Partnership works with Adair, Audubon, Green and Guthrie Counties in facilitating economic development projects, and retaining current jobs and businesses.
