Featuring NeTia Bauman, CEO and president of the Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation.
Our stories shape not only our own lives but also the identities of the communities we call home. Too often, individuals and regions are defined by outdated perceptions, external doubts, or limiting beliefs, but what if we took control of the narrative? In this engaging and interactive session, we’ll explore how personal experiences of overcoming underestimation can be applied to reshaping regional mindsets.
NeTia joined the Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation in July 2023 as the new CEO & President. In this role, she leads the organizations’ mission to provide inclusive and equitable economic development efforts throughout the greater St. Cloud region. She believes in fostering an innovative, collaborative, and growth mindset to carry the GSDC’s mission forward.
NeTia is particularly skilled in business development and site selection and is passionate about entrepreneurship and downtown revitalization. She earned a Certified Economic Developer (CEcD) designation from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) in 2022. Other professional development accolades include being named a 2020 MN Compass Champion led by Wilder Research, a 2020 cohort of the reputable Blandin Community Leadership Program, and a current cohort in the 17th Anderson Center Executive Forum.
In prior years, Bauman served as the CEO for Greater Fergus Falls, Administrator for the Fergus Falls Downtown Riverfront Council, and held several positions during her time at the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute (UGPTI) at North Dakota State University (NDSU). NeTia also serves on the Board of Directors for the St. Cloud Downtown Alliance and the Mayor’s Downtown Task Force.
