APPLETON, December 5, 2008 – Governor Doyle and Richard C.

Hundreds of business and community leaders from across Northeast Wisconsin are expected to attend the Summit, which will provide attendees with updates on the progress of the New North, Inc. and offer invaluable information on attracting and retaining talent in the region.
In addition to remarks from Governor Doyle, Richard Longworth will provide the Summit’s keynote address. Now a fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, Richard C. Longworth was an award-winning foreign correspondent and senior writer at the Chicago Tribune. His previous book, Global Squeeze: The Coming Crisis for First-World Nations, was lauded by Foreign Affairs as “an engrossing study of how advanced societies grapple with the disruptive forces of global markets.” Twice a Pulitzer Prize finalist, Longworth lives in Chicago.
