Overview

Mission

The Gateway New Economy Council (GNEC) is a group of volunteers in the Gateway Region of West Virginia dedicated to serving as a catalyst to ensure the region will have the opportunity to participate fully in, and benefit from, the "New Economy" of the twenty-first century.

What it reported doing in 2010

Graduation Dinner GNEC members hosted a Graduation Dinner for over 80 graduating students from Shepherd University's Business Administration Department and their professors. The Council's Educational Co-chair, Walt Pellish, worked with Dr. Gordon DeMeritt, President Suzanne Shipley, the Governor's representative and the WV Director of the Department of Commerce, who was our keynote speaker. The encouragement and support are designed to suggest that graduates consider utilizing their SU degree by establishing strong community roots in the Eastern Panhandle region in order to encourage organic entrepreneurial growth.
