After all, there is no EDC in Huntsville – all economic development runs through the Huntsville Chamber. With regards to \failure-is-not-an-option\ thinking and the Space Foundation: that sort of thinking typically comes from small business. However, the Space Foundation continues to price small businesses out of the annual symposium, and the foundation loses an opportunity to tap into that \outside the box\ thinking. I’d recommend a tiered registration based on company size and status. In addition, we continue to see missile defense jobs move from the Springs to Huntsville. When do we throw the gauntlet and say \enough!\? Maybe the Space Foundation steps outside the box and we craft a symposium that not only reflects the space side but teams with Homeland Defense, NDIA, EDC, Chamber, and others to showcase our city, from academia to industry. Are you ready, Colorado Springs?
