We are kicking off this week of Business as Usual by welcoming Mark Anthony Thomas, President of the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance (PRA), to the webcast today at noon. Mark was appointed President of the PRA in July 2019 and is responsible for creating, developing and executing the 10-county region’s economic development strategy, and advancing partnerships to drive job creation and business investment. Mark will fill us in on the new "Pittsburgh Region: Next is Now" marketing campaign to promote Pittsburgh (external and internally) as an attractive place to live, work and play. He will also overview the PRAs recent efforts to attract new technology companies and investments to the region and how COVID-19 has impacted its work to date.
