Has this happened to you: Do you find it difficult to explain your job to your family, friends and your professional contacts?
According to Melissa Meschke, Economic Development Outreach Manager for the Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship at the University of Wisconsin, the interesting thing about Economic Development is hard to difficult it is to describe economic developers do.
