The Economic Forum is one of LADCO's most popular events.  The Forum, held at regular intervals throughout the year, focuses on a different topic of interest to the La Crosse Community in each of its installments.  The topic is typically discussed by a panel of experts, but past Forums have also featured debates.  Forum attendees are sure to develop a deeper understanding of issues pertinent to our community and our world.
