Mark Troppe is Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness (CREC), where he serves on the executive management team in guiding the organization’s future. He leads key projects; collaborates with other senior team members to develop and implement a research, technical assistance, and training strategy; and helps develop resources and new business in support of the organization’s mission.
Specifically, Mr. Troppe advises on three projects: providing technical support to a project aligning state and regional economic development leaders for the Economic Development Administration, supporting the NIST MEP state relations program and SSTI in work with manufacturing extension centers, and organizing products, services, and events for the State Economic Development Executives (SEDE) network funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts.
Mark worked for 25 years on policy and programs related to manufacturing, innovation, economic and workforce development at the US Departments of Labor and Commerce and enjoys sharing that federal perspective with CREC’s clients and staff.
