Second, hear from Steve Johnson, CEO of the new St. Louis Regional Economic Development Alliance , a private sector economic development effort that will attract and retain businesses, jobs and top talent for the St. Louis region. We will also have Tiny Little Monster live printing t-shirts at the meeting to give hands on experience with the idea of STLMade – for $20 you can take home a REALTOR ® or STLMade shirt.
