Dallas Knack, Executive Director of the Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce, hosted the CEO class on Monday. Josh Johnson, Director of WACC, Sterling City Alderman and SVACC Board Member, joined the students and explained the progress of some current projects, including the Northwest Steel and Wire Park. It was a beautiful day to walk the river path, but more importantly students learned about the benefits of a chamber, local taxes, project phases, EPA cleanup, and local economic development.
