Illinois Central College and the EDC for Central Illinois hosted author and speaker Richard Longworth Thursday (June 24th, 2010) for a very successful event and luncheon. Mr. Longworth shared his thoughts on the Midwest’s economic past and future along with excerpts from his book, Caught in the Middle. A book signing was held afterward.

Prior to Richard Longworth’s presentation, a group of Illinois Central College students gave a brief presentation on their studies in China and photos from their tours.

A special thanks to Illinois Central College for sponsoring Mr. Longworth’s presentation.
