Future Forum: A Leadership Conversation

EVENT LINK

Before we can shape North Dakota's future, we need to understand what today's leaders are seeing from the front lines.

At Future Forum, GNDC President & CEO Arik Spencer sits down with Dave Ehlis, President & CEO of Bravera Bank, for a candid conversation on leadership, economic growth, and the opportunities ahead for North Dakota.

Drawing from a career that spans military service, energy, agriculture, and financial services, Dave brings a unique perspective on navigating change, building strong organizations, and leading through uncertainty. Together, he and Arik will explore the economic trends affecting businesses today, what employers are hearing from customers and communities, the importance of relationships and trust in an increasingly digital world, and where North Dakota's greatest opportunities lie over the next decade.

The discussion will also examine mentorship, leadership development, and the role business leaders play in strengthening the communities where they live and work.

For business leaders looking beyond today's challenges, this conversation offers practical insight from someone helping shape North Dakota's economic future every day.
