Growth Through Collaboration
Working to Help Increase Economic Growth, Create More High-Paying Jobs and Improve the Quality of Life Across Southwest Ohio!
Think Regional! believes that we can attract and retain more investment by collaboration across our region instead of competing in geographic silos. This will result in more economic development and job growth and a better quality of life for all areas across our region. Our last Think Regional Summit Day was on April 28, 2017 and focused on the need for better results in Skilled Workforce Development. Details of the panels and small group deliberative discussions are at the Events and Issue Action Group pages. You can join our next Issue Action Group work sessions on June 30, 2017 to help us make progress on this and our other 5 Key Issues, to discuss near term actions to help us realize these goals. Details are also on the Events page. Plan to come and help make a difference in our region!
