Monthly Program - Where Real Estate Meets Regional Growth: A Lunch Conversation with Ron Kitchens, CEO of Greater St. Louis, Inc.

Economic development for the St. Louis Region

Join CREW St. Louis for a lunchtime conversation with Ron Kitchens, the new CEO of Greater St. Louis, Inc., and one of the nation’s most respected economic development leaders. With over three decades of experience across Missouri, Texas, Michigan, and Alabama, Kitchens is known for driving transformational growth—including leading the three largest private sector investments in Wichita Falls’ history, helping expand the local tax base fivefold.

A Missouri native returning home, he brings a strong vision for inclusive regional economic growth and a passion for helping communities “rediscover hope, reignite growth, and reimagine what is possible.”

Join us over lunch to hear Kitchens’ perspective on the opportunities ahead for St. Louis and what they mean for the commercial real estate community.
