A premier, by-invitation-only event that brought together 150 leaders from the six-county region who are engaged in addressing policy challenges impacting business, government and non-profit institutions and communities throughout the region. A full day event facilitating discussions topics that thread through the most pressing of these challenges, from housing and equity to mobility and the environment. Attendees were the first to see the results of the super-region survey and they participated in interactive workshops, heard from thought provoking speakers and networked to explore how to move the needle forward for our region.
