Event
Regional Innovation Forum
The Regional Innovation Forum invites you to join with other engaged citizens and community leaders from every sector to explore the systemic challenges facing our region at a participatory event focused on creating our sustainable, livable and prosperous future.
You will actively engage in dialog and problem solving, identifying obstacles, solutions and developing action plans to facilitate progress. You will broaden your knowledge base, develop leadership skills, connect to current initiatives, and help develop partnerships and initiatives to advance the region's leadership in sustainability. All will leave with a greater commitment to make a difference, and with tools and opportunities to lead and collaborate with others in ongoing efforts.
The Forum aspires to:
-Build the leadership of the region in the sustainability effort
-Facilitate work across sectors to collaborate on problems we cannot solve alone
-Find ways to work more effectively and take projects to scale
-Provide a platform to launch a cross-sector social learning campaign: a sustainable future-focused "citizen leadership" program that supports and accelerates existing programs and initiatives and develops future leaders.
