Blandin’s Intelligent Community: Hosted in Appleton

Posted by Melissa Streich | July 17, 2019

Blandin Foundation invites you to learn more about the Intelligent Community framework, the ICF benchmarking tool and the Intelligent Community of the Year competition.

The benchmarking questionnaire can be used by any community, county or region to measure its global competitiveness across the six Intelligent Community elements.  Communities completing the questionnaire will receive a comparative report from ICF and will be entered into the global Intelligent Community competition. Blandin is also offering onsite technical assistance to support communities completing the questionnaire.

Blandin is delivering four regional workshops to promote this opportunity.  Register at https://forms.gle/7udsRBa7ipGrixSX9
