HANNIBAL â The Hannibal Area Chamber of Commerce and Hannibal Regional Economic Development Council are teaming up to present the Northeast Workforce Summit, with strategies to combat a shortage of employees due to the pandemic.
McKenzie Disselhorst, executive director of the Hannibal Area Chamber of Commerce, said the Northeast Workforce Summit has taken place at the Mark Twain Museum, Hannibal-LaGrange University and Clover Road Christian Church during the past six or seven years. The summit was canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, and organizers wanted to make sure they could bring people together at a good time and in a slightly different format. The summit kicks off at 9 a.m. Thursday, April 29, at the YâMenâs Pavilion.
