Garry Clark of Economic Alliance Snohomish County on Leadership to Create Opportunity

In this episode, host David Ponraj interviews Garry Clark, President & CEO at Economic Alliance Snohomish County in Washington state, serving almost a million residents. Garry shares his heartfelt, spoken word “Why,” and the arduous barriers to entry, early in life, that motivated him to become a changemaker. This timely conversation about addressing the real needs of underserved communities was recorded just as the SBA announced its new Community Navigator grantees, proving that noticeable changes in systemic barriers won't happen without action to move the needle. Garry shares that “to succeed in economic development, you must have passion for the work and a story to tell for your community, your county, and your entrepreneurs.” And Garry has a remarkable story to share.
