Thank you to the DeKalb County Republican Women for the opportunity to speak this evening about Economic Development: Principles and Practice. We build Alabama together! #Our67    Over 200 people gathered this afternoon at the swearing-In ceremony and luncheon for the Honorable Casey Wardynski, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Thank you, Casey, for your service to our country! #Our67 #USA 🇺🇸   Join us on Twitter for BizChat Alabama! I look forward to chatting about economic development with the Mountain Lakes Chamber of Commerce in Scottsboro on Thursday 28 March at 2PM #BizChatAL #Our67 Nicole Jones Twitter Handle: https://twitter.com/NicoleJonesAL Mountain Lakes Chamber Twitter Handle: https://twitter.com/MTLakesChamber  The agriculture industry has always been a dominant part of our state's economy. I enjoyed visiting with the St. Clair County Cattlemen's Association. We shared information about available funding for college students who wish to study agriculture. Scholarships are available now through the Alabama Cattlemen's Association and Alabama Agribusiness Council. Apply by 30 March 2019. #Our67  I enjoyed catching up with Mr. Whatley at the Alabama Farmer's Federation reception. As the world now knows, the little town of Beauregard where he has deep roots was hit hard a few weeks ago. God bless this precious community as they continue to move forward. #Our67 #LeeCountyStrong  Thank you to the Professional Firefighters of Alabama for hosting an informative reception. It is important for us to recognize the health issues firefighters can incur as a result of their work environment including, but not limited to, cancer and PTSD. Alabama's firefighters are one of the easiest groups to advocate for. Thank you, firefighters, for all you do. Our hearts are forever indebted to you. #Our67  It was great catching up with my friend Johnnie Smith in Montgomery at the Yellowhammer News Legislative Review and Reception featuring Speaker of the House Mac McCutcheon and Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh. Thank you, Johnnie, for all you do. #Our67  Thank you to Judge Bill Lewis and to all who coordinated the 2019 Elmore County Republican Party Annual Dinner. Three young people earned scholarships and shall attend Alabama, Auburn, and Troy in the fall. Congratulations! #Our67   Photo credits: Elmore County Republican Party    Photo Credit: Terry Lathan  The participation of the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) in the Von Braun Center for Science and Innovation’s University Consortium reaffirms our state’s willingness to collaborate and train a workforce that can perform well in high-demand careers centered upon constant technological advancements. This workforce development initiative will aid in research and development and will also help cultivate the skills desired by employers in dominant industries in Alabama such as aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing.

The Ellen McAnelly Memorial St. Patrick's Day Parade has been a downtown Huntsville tradition since 1978. This year I had a lot of fun playing Mary Poppins! #Our67 ☘️    We always have good conversation at the Madison County Republican Men's Club Breakfast. Today's keynote speaker was Congressman Bradley Byrne, now running for US Senate. March 2019 marks the 411th consecutive meeting. #Our67           Thank you, Alabama Department of Archives and History, for the tour and for allowing us to view our state's original constitution. I was honored to visit with your team of historians. #Our67 Alabama 200  Considering the myriad of global trade disputes that dominated worldwide news last year, it is impressive that Alabama maintained $21.3 billion in exports. Other countries demonstrated a continued need for made in Alabama products, especially in the industries of transportation as well as aerospace.
With global companies continuing to seek products made in Alabama, it is important that our state continues to stay on the forefront of issues that affect economic and foreign policy as well as international trade. Organizations such as the Export Alabama Alliance, Alabama District Export Council, North Alabama International Trade Association, US Chamber of Commerce, and Birmingham Council on Foreign Relations disseminate information and therefore help economic development professionals make educated decisions to best serve the people of Alabama. More here in the Alabama Political Reporter: Good News: Today is March 14 - Pie Day! ;) Here's to celebrating made in Alabama food products at our favorite pie destination - Gibson's Barbecue! #Our67  Thank you to the Alabama Grocer's Association for coordinating Buy Alabama's Best Day in Montgomery yesterday! This campaign creates awareness on the importance of purchasing made in Alabama food products. Our state's food retail industry supplies over 70,000 jobs. Pictured is the “Wright2U Freshmobile,” designed by Wright’s Market in Opelika to bring fresh produce to food deserts. #Our67    Thank you, Ms. Wanda, for the tour of Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church. You are a blessing and a beautiful example of someone who uses gifts from God to bless others! #Our67     ☘️ The Ellen McAnelly Memorial St. Patrick's Day Parade has been a downtown Huntsville tradition since 1978. This year I will be playing Mary Poppins. We hope to see you on Saturday 16 March at 11:30AM. ☘️ #Our67 #MaryPoppins  We are devastated to hear of the loss of life in Lee County, Alabama as well as the destruction in Russell and Geneva counties. My family and I will help in any way we can. #Our67  Thank you to all who attended and coordinated the Huntsville Community Kite Festival. Thousands of folks attend the free, family-friendly festival each year. This is a special event in which the public and private sector join together for the common good. #Our67                    View the entire photo gallery here: www.flickr.com/photos/nicole_jones_huntsville_al/albums/72157707405856824
