BusinessTalk with Rick Sullivan, President and CEO, Western Massachusetts Economic Development Council

Rick Sullivan’s 11-year tenure leading the Western Massachusetts Economic Development Council has been one of both challenge — the region has dealt with everything from shifting economic tides to a pandemic — and opportunity; indeed, during that time, the EDC has grown, programming has expanded, and membership has doubled. On the next episode of BusinessTalk, Rick talks with BusinessWest Editor Joe Bednar about all that and more, including his advice for the next president and CEO; the organization’s continuing importance in growing the business landscape in the 413; and what he values most from his time serving this region as a mayor, in the governor’s office, and with the EDC. It’s must listening, so tune into BusinessTalk, a podcast presented by BusinessWest.
