From RFI to Site Visit: What Site Selectors Really Want in 2025

Hear directly from a site selector. Charles “Chuck” Sexton will share exactly how communities make (and miss) the shortlist—plus what wins RFIs and site visits in 2025. Co-presented by Bethany Quinn to translate best practices into actionable steps for your EDO.

What you’ll learn:

• How site selectors build (and narrow) longlists and shortlists
•  The RFI/RFP essentials: what to include, what to skip, and how to respond fast 
• Digital presence must-haves that signal “shovel-ready” (to humans and AI tools) 
• Storytelling that goes beyond the numbers—crafting narrative proof points about your community’s people, place, and readiness
• Planning a high-impact site visit: roles, run-of-show, and common pitfalls 
• Post-visit follow-through that keeps you in the lead
