Regionalism Initiative Council

The goals of the Initiative Council are to advocate for change in attitude among today’s leaders; educate tomorrow’s leaders via Leadership Institute; Participate in private and public forums whenever possible, and coordinate with like-minded groups such as the NCPC, MWCOG, Board of Trade and 2030 Group. The Initiative Council will develop a program for the general membership on a topic related to regionalism, a Trends Conference panel and a presentation to the ULI Washington advisory board. In addition, members will create a link from the ULI Washington website to highlight the Council’s activities and investigate the possibility of creating a speaker’s bureau that can deliver the Council’s message to other groups, including public officials. The final strategy is to develop a public sector outreach strategy to provide information to elected and appointed officials to help them understand the overall objectives of “Regionalism” in conjunction with the interests of the private sector.
