This is Site Selection’s annual infrastructure
issue, and there couldn’t be a better word to describe the

at our July board meetings, there are so many people doing
an incredible job of building a complete framework for IAMC’s
success.
The 16 committees have done an outstanding
job in identifying issues and bringing them forward. More
importantly, the enthusiasm of people in volunteering their
time and effort in putting this together is incredible. One
committee alone — the Education Committee — spent 127 hours

are in tune and focused.
We test this focus after each one of
our biannual Forums, to make sure that the deliverable was
indeed delivered, and to measure how successful it was. A
special session during the Memphis Forum will seek input from
attendees on emerging issues IAMC ought to address. And Site
Selection Editor Mark Arend will host his own focus group
on how this publication can best serve its loyal readers.

with Corporate Real Estate to Leverage Company Success.”
Now is the time to leverage the infrastructure
of IAMC. In Memphis, we’ll be enjoying the Memphis barbecue
— but from every Forum we take home an extra helping of focus
to enhance our personal and corporate success .

For students who may have affordability and other challenges, the question is even more direct: Is it worth it for me to even pursue post-secondary education?
Today, at a site near the Mississippi River in Tunica County, Miss., just south of Memphis, Tenn., the company is gaining its first manufacturing perch in North America
To be “Bernardino” means, literally, to be “as brave or as bold as a bear.” In San Bernardino County in Southern California, one could say that a series of transportation infrastructure projects are more than living up to the county name.
